Elevating Cybersecurity with Managed SOC Solutions: The InfoTrust Guide
In an era where cyber threats constantly evolve, safeguarding your digital assets becomes paramount. Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) solutions offer a robust defence mechanism, providing continuous monitoring and expert response to these threats. As leading cybersecurity experts, the team at InfoTrust understands the significance of a managed SOC in fortifying your organisation’s security posture.
What is Managed SOC?
Managed SOC is a service provided by cybersecurity professionals that involves constant monitoring, detection, and response to cyber threats. Unlike a traditional in-house SOC, a managed SOC is typically operated by external specialists offering a range of expertise and advanced technologies. This ensures 24/7 surveillance of your network, identifying and mitigating risks before they escalate.
Why Choose Managed SOC?
- Expertise and Experience: Managed SOC solutions leverage the skills of cybersecurity experts who are adept at handling diverse and sophisticated threats.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Establishing an in-house SOC can be costly, requiring significant investment in infrastructure and staffing. A managed SOC offers a more economical alternative with scalable services tailored to your needs.
- Advanced Technologies: Managed SOC providers utilise cutting-edge technologies for threat detection and response, ensuring your organisation stays ahead of cybercriminals.
Integrating Managed Security Operations with Your Cybersecurity Strategy
Managed SOC services should be integrated into your broader cybersecurity strategy. This integration not only enhances your defence against cyber threats, but also addresses specific business challenges, including:
- Building Ransomware Resilience: A managed SOC helps detect ransomware threats early, minimising potential damage.
- Preventing Data Breaches: Continuous monitoring and rapid response capabilities of a managed SOC are crucial in preventing data breaches.
- Ensuring Regulatory Compliance: Managed SOC solutions help in complying with various regulatory standards by ensuring that your cybersecurity measures are up to date, and providing ongoing monitoring, incident response, and reporting proficiency.
Choosing the Right Managed SOC Provider
Selecting the right managed SOC provider is crucial – consider these factors:
- Experience and Reputation: Look for providers with a proven track record in cybersecurity.
- Customisability: Ensure the provider offers services that can be tailored to your specific needs.
- Technology and Tools: Evaluate the technologies and tools the provider uses for threat detection and response.
- Support and Communication: Choose a provider that offers excellent support and maintains transparent communication.

Mimecast recently released its State of Email Security Report for 2021. The fifth edition of its annual report used interviews with over twelve hundred of information technology and cybersecurity professionals across the globe to gather vital cybersecurity insights. The report offers an insight into the latest email threats along with advice on how to build cyber resilience and mitigate the risks of email-borne attacks.
Cyber attacks and data breaches have been commonplace in the news headlines for some time now. Although a warning from the media is certainly helpful, there is so much more that can be done when it comes to threat intelligence sharing. Threat intelligence sharing is an important part of the global cybersecurity community effort to tackle cybercrime and should form a part of every organisation’s cybersecurity strategy. Sharing cyber threat intelligence enables organisations to make informed decisions about their cybersecurity, building more effective and robust cyber defences.
One of my favourite annual reports to read is the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report. It’s packed full of insights about the threat landscape and security leaders, in my opinion, should read this report to get a pulse on what’s happening in cyber-scape.
After all, as cyber leaders, we are here to stop breaches – so the insights gained from real cyber incidents and breaches is gold in learning how to tighten up our defences.
All businesses, large and small, are under increasing pressure to demonstrate that they are managing the risk of cyberattacks. This means having the right processes and controls in place to identify risks and vulnerabilities, protect information, as well as detect, respond, and recover in the event of cybersecurity incidents. As such, many businesses are turning to certification authorities and security frameworks to demonstrate privacy and security best practice and achieve compliance with regulatory bodies. System and Organisation Controls (SOC 2) is one such compliance framework that can help organisations to create a structured approach to cybersecurity.
Frost & Sullivan has recently released its 2021 Frost Radar: Email Security report, where its findings provide a benchmarking framework to help businesses protect their email from cyber threats.
As we operate in an increasingly digital world, every business collect, store, and share more and more data. And, amongst that data is personal information. With the OAIC marking this year’s Privacy Awareness Week (PAW) from Monday 3 May to Sunday 9 May 2021, it’s time for us all to review how we protect our customers’ personal information.
