SOC/SIEM Solutions from NSSL and Huntress:
What is a SOC/SIEM? A SOC or Security Operations Center and SIEM or Security Information and Event Management solution is a comprehensive cybersecurity system designed to protect an organization's network and digital assets.
The SOC is a centralized unit that monitors and responds to security incidents 24/7, ensuring that any potential threats are swiftly identified and mitigated. SIEM, on the other hand, is a software solution that collects and analyzes data from various sources within the IT infrastructure to detect and prioritize security threats.
Together, these components provide a robust defense mechanism by combining automated threat detection with human expertise, ensuring continuous protection and compliance with regulatory requirements which is of utmost importance now in an environment when DORA, NIS2 and GDPR are at the forefront of every business management team’s mind.
NSSL in association with our Partner – Huntress have developed a comprehensive SOC/SIEM solution to help our customers:
- neutralise threats as they occur,
- protect your networks and data
- all while maintaining the required compliance needed to ensure you, as trusted businesses operate within the bounds of the law.
