Business need
The way people work has changed. Where once most employees were located in a single office building, many companies now have a workforce that is spread across a multitude of locations – including people’s homes. This throws up security challenges for businesses, who may feel a loss of control as the network expands beyond the organisation’s four walls. The perimeter has changed, and devices may no longer be protected by the corporate firewall. Then there’s unsecured Wi-Fi connections coupled with direct communication with cloud apps – not to mention use of personal devices and shadow IT, or changes in user behaviour when they’re outside the work environment.
For Security leaders, getting a handle on all of this can seem like a juggling act. Transformation needs to occur to step up business security to match the new normal of working – and that’s no small endeavour. Remote monitoring and deployment, as well as end user trust management, are critical to work from home security. For many businesses, this is where having a managed security solution can add real value, by lifting the load for in house teams.
How we help
Security updates are remotely deployed as users work from home, so there’s no need for them to return to the office to keep their machines protected.
We place a number of protective agents on user devices including DLP and web security filters – not only protecting them but drawing information into the SOC for continuous monitoring.
Smarter security economics – our experts have the skillset to work with specific security technologies suited to remote working security – reducing the need for upskilling or onboarding in house IT staff.
We help you to set end user trust management policies and ensure employees are adhering through ongoing monitoring and response.
Frequent automatic updates and patches are delivered from our central portal so long as users are connected to the internet.
When there are as many offices as employees, the monitoring workload is multiplied for in house teams. Our SOC services can be deployed at scale with speed and efficiency.
As changes occur in the workplace, as a specialist SOC provider we listen to the business community and our customers to remain agile and responsive to their needs.
We’ve developed our own highly-efficient and integrated technology stack, which means we can be dynamic with the security services we offer as remote and hybrid working practices evolve.

Brendon opens an email attachment from a known client; unfortunately his client’s laptop has been compromised and he opens a document infected with ransomware.
The ransomware starts to encrypt his shared folders, but in a sub-second response his desktop is quarantined by our anti-ransomware system which alerts the SOC team in real-time.
The SOC team notified the client’s IT team and commence incident response processes, using their SIEM they performed root cause analysis which identified the entry method of the malware (via email). The SOC obtained a copy of the malware for analysis in their malware labs, they detonated the malware safely to study its behaviour and identify its spreading mechanism to find it was wormable (able to spread across the network on open ports to vulnerable systems). Armed with this knowledge the SOC guided the IT Team during the recovery process to ensure the malware was not persistent and did not reinfect the systems after recovery or reattempt encryption.
Further to the above, the SOC assessed the DLP alarms to identify whether the attacker also attempted to exfiltrate data, and confirm no data leakage was detected, allowing the client to report back accordingly to the ICO.
