Security Operations Centre

An SOC is driven by a team that provides outcome-driven cyber security support to incidents and threats to its customers – both proactively and reactively. The Missing Link’s SOC protects people, technology and processes from the threat of Attackers – whether they’re nation-state, criminal, hacktivists or insiders). We offer comprehensive services, spanning from daily security monitoring and threat intelligence through to strategic design of multi-cloud security. Importantly, you can rest assured we provide rapid incident response as our SOC team works 24/7. We’re an ISO27001 approved organisation, proving our SOC follows best practices in Information Security.

A business’ stability and viability is intrinsically linked to its security posture. The Missing Link has award-winning security consultants working around the clock to protect businesses from cyber threats such as malware and hackers. Our team can work in partnership with you to examine your entire environment and identify the best strategy to make sure your organisation is reinforced against hacking, phishing and much more. We provide many services to discourage, identify and respond to potential threats, including tactical day-to-day security monitoring, strategic planning and threat intelligence.

Attackers never take a day off – they're all motivated by different targets and objectives, and are laser focused on breaking down their target’s security posture. Even the smallest, most inconsequential action like opening a suspicious email or clicking an unknown link could be the straw that broke the camel’s back, exposing your business to a breach. Some of the potential impacts of a breach include data leaks, broken trust, stolen money, and reputation damage. Our =SOC can help you identify and know your potential attackers and guide toward implementing stronger defences across technology, people and process.

SOC is an acronym for Security Operations Centre, which is a hub staffed by experienced cyber security consultants. On the other hand, SIEM stands for Security Incident Event Management – software that supports activities such as threat detection, compliance monitoring and security incident management through collecting and analysing security events, as well as a multitude of other data sources. In short: A SIEM system highlights potential threats to your business and any abnormal events, and an SOC houses the security team who examines these alerts. Security team consultants may decide to either escalate an alert or flag it as a false positive, depending on its nature.

The SOC team identifies risks and responds to threats using the data analysed by the SIEM. There’s no weak links here! Every team member is a qualified security consultant with experience reviewing network data and building powerful solutions to protect against external threats. They’ll deliver detailed reports which analyse SIEM alerts, summarise each security event (including whether it was a false alert or a genuine threat) and, most importantly, address any threats that arise in a timely manner. Finally, our SOC offers around-the-clock monitoring of network security data, so it’s a given that your systems have the best possible protection 24/7.
