SOC-as-a-Service
Detection & Response for sophisticated threats
EDGENETIC is an award-winning cybersecurity organisation with unparalleled capability in delivering SOC-as-a-Service. Through our global Security Operations Centres (SOCs) we are able to deliver round the clock services that secure our clients, and detect and respond to sophisticated cyber-threats providing assurance that what matters most is protected.
Why use a Managed SOC?
In today’s interconnected world, it is increasingly difficult for organisations to protect their data, as technology continues to rapidly evolve and change the working practices of organisations and people. Organisations have typically responded by implementing security technology at strategic vantage points within the network infrastructure. Yet, despite this approach, companies are still being breached and data is being compromised.
A Managed SOC Service can provide a level of visibility and security that can be difficult to maintain in-house, both in terms of availability and expertise. Organisations that have limited resources can procure Managed SOC Services to manage their alerting, detections, and incidents. Alternatively, you can supplement an existing team, providing in-depth expertise and availability when you need it most.
The Cyber-threat Landscape is Evolving
The volume of cyber-attacks grows continually year-on-year. For organisations to maintain a strong security posture, they need to deliver round the clock security services. Attackers do not only act during core business hours, they attack organisations 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Security monitoring is a must in today’s business world with threats, cyber-attacks, and data breaches becoming a regular part of the global news. But where do you start implementing security services to combat these threats?
Not all companies can afford to set up, hire security experts and operate a mature Security Operations Centre that can protect against the ever-evolving security threat landscape.
With our Managed SOC-as-a-Service you benefit from an award-winning SOC, which includes the crucial technologies and experts critical to protecting against these threats.

Why use EDGENETIC’s SOC-as-a-Service?
EDGENETIC prides itself on delivering value-add services for our clients, many organisations can deploy and manage a reactive security monitoring technology, but to implement these technologies and then realise the returns on investment is difficult in an ever-evolving security landscape.
Our expertise and experience enable us to provide proactive, value-add services to our clients built on foundations across people, process & technology.
The Right People
SOCs rely heavily on having capable people that are trained and experienced in identifying threats. It is essential that the people in a SOC have a deep technical experience that allows them to think like an attacker, and review network traffic to identify security events. In addition, when incidents are identified, it is necessary to have a robust incident management program to ensure artefacts are preserved and mitigation activity can be actioned.
EDGENETIC’s deep understanding and experience of offensive attacks and ability to simulate sophisticated threat actors provides a firm knowledge base for our detection and response capabilities.
EDGENETIC’s SOC invests heavily in its most valuable asset, our staff. They are highly certified and continually developed through learning and certifications to ensure we stay on the leading edge of cyber defence operations.
Our skilled teams include security and technical staff, incident responders, service delivery managers, and technical account managers to provide an all-encompassing tiered delivery model that remains flexible whilst providing best in class security services.
Robust Processes
One of the most crucial aspects of a SOC is to have robust operating procedures and processes to govern and orchestrate the operational delivery and the detection and response lifecycles. In EDGENETIC’s experience, it is the quality of the SOC process that ultimately influences the overall SOC effectiveness.
Threat Modelling
It is essential that up front threat modelling and risk understanding is carried out in advance of setting up a SOC service. As part of this process, a thorough understanding of critical assets and attack surfaces is used to build out a strategic view of the organisation’s estate and digital assets.
A SOC must embrace both proactive and reactive processes to deliver the optimum level of visibility across an organisation’s estate. Reactive log review from strategic vantage points across an estate is critical to providing visibility across a monitored infrastructure. However, that alone will rarely suffice in today’s current threat landscape.
EDGENETIC proactively completes hunt initiatives across critical assets and through network data captures. By blending proactive and reactive processes together, EDGENETIC’s SOC provides a holistic security approach to prevent critical asset compromise and data exposure.
Use Cases and Orchestration
Understanding how attackers move laterally across a network is critical in detecting advanced threats. Determining what normal user behaviour is, and then deviations away from this is a critical component of an effective SOC.
EDGENETIC has extensive experience in building use cases and processes that allow us to identify and contain attacks at multiple stages of the cyber kill chain. Our orchestration and use cases are based around many common attack patterns, and allow us to respond to malware breakouts, remote access toolkits (RATs), Command & Control (C2), lateral movement, privilege escalation, and attempted data exfiltration.
Service Operation & Delivery
An Operational SOC performance can be hard to maintain without the right processes and procedures to ensure quality outcomes are delivered to the client. Most IT services within a company are governed and provided using industry-aligned standards like ITIL and ISO20000k.
EDGENETIC has a mature ITIL/ISO20000 aligned service operation and delivery framework. This ensures we manage, maintain, and deliver the best SOC services to our clients. We align and measure all our processes and performance in line with industry standards and continually investigate improvement opportunities.
The Best Technology
Having the right type of technology, that is fit for purpose and provides a rich data set to a security analyst, is essential in detecting and responding to cyber-threats. In today’s marketplace, there are many technologies to choose from. So, how do you know which is best for you?
Visibility
