CYSIAM's Security Operations Centre (SOC) is a UK-based, CREST-accredited managed security service operating 24/7, forming the core of CYSIAM's intelligence-led Managed Detection and Response (MDR) offering. The SOC is staffed by security-vetted intrusion analysts and incident responders experienced in detecting and mitigating cyber attacks. Technologies employed are drawn from Gartner Magic Quadrant-recognised vendors. **Approach:** The SOC ingests security-relevant data from a client's enterprise network via the client's chosen SIEM platform. Security Analysts analyse this data for indicators of attack or compromise, separating genuine threats from false positives, and escalate to incident response protocols when necessary. The SOC is integrated with CYSIAM's Threat Operations capability, encompassing Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) and Threat Hunting functions. CYSIAM holds Full Membership of FIRST (Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams) and Implementing Partner status with the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise (GFCE). **Key Features:** - **Onboarding:** Assessment of client infrastructure and agreement on initial data feeds for SIEM ingestion, including existing security tooling. - **Threat Assessment:** Analysis of the threat landscape based on the client's sector, geography, and technology stack. - **Detection Engineering:** Tailoring of standard detection rules to the client environment and development of new rules based on threat assessment outputs. - **Alerting & Response:** Prioritisation and analysis of alerts, with CYSIAM's Digital Forensics & Incident Response (DFIR) team on standby for critical incidents. The SOC has been recognised as CrowdStrike's Rising Star Partner of the Year 2025 and holds NCSC Cyber Incident Response Level 2 certification.
