METCLOUD Security Operations Centre as a Service (SOCaaS) is a managed security service that provides organisations with outsourced SOC capabilities, eliminating the need for an in-house security operations centre. The service delivers 24/7 monitoring of systems, networks, devices, and logs to detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats and vulnerabilities. Security analysts triage detected threats based on severity and provide remediation guidance. Key capabilities include: - Continuous threat monitoring and detection across computing environments - Threat investigation and triage by qualified SOC analysts - Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) with log management and 12-month log retention for compliance purposes - Managed Detection & Response (MDR) with threat intelligence - Compliance reporting aligned to industry-specific regulations - Security policy observations, violation highlighting, and improvement recommendations - Regular advisory support and policy updates The service is positioned as an extension of an organisation's existing IT team, covering the cost and resource overhead associated with maintaining a dedicated internal SOC. It is delivered via METCLOUD's hybrid cloud platform, which incorporates AI and machine learning technologies for cyber defence and surveillance.
