Our experts, your security

Each year, new cybersecurity technologies are introduced, promising the latest innovations to fight off threats. And yet, cyberattacks still fill the headlines. The problem? Cybersecurity doesn’t have a tools problem, it has an operational one.

A Security Operations Center (SOC) is essential to protecting your organisation from advanced, persistent threats.

Askaris' SOC-as-a-service provides the technology, process and expertise you need to deliver dynamic 24×7 security and a cost-effective alternative to building your own SOC.

Pentest cyber security

Protecting you from cyber threats

Rather than responding to threats as they happen, a SOC works to monitor the network around-the-clock. By doing so, our SOC team can detect malicious activities and prevent them before they can cause any damage.

Having a dedicated SOC provides your organisation with multiple benefits, including continuous network monitoring, centralised visibility, reduced cybersecurity costs, and better collaboration.

  • Continuous Monitoring
  • Centralised Visibility
  • Reduced Cybersecurity Costs
  • Better Collaboration

Is SOC-as-a-Service right for you?

With many cyber risks facing your business today, Askaris' SOC-AS-A-Service is not only designed to support you but also provide proactive protection by Identifying the major cyber risks facing your organisation, today, tomorrow, and in the future.

We start at the top with the types of risk events that are most likely, and work our way down, this way, we understand which types of risks might have a direct impact on your operations, or could threaten business continuity imminently?

When did you last look at your cyber vulnerabilities and truly understand what risks your organisation faced?

Speak to our technical account director

Identifying your assets: Which company assets will our SOC be in charge of protecting? Which locations will it monitor?

Clearly defining the SOC’s role: Will it handle travel safety? Executive protection? Brand and corporate reputation? Company IP or cyber assets only?

Threat actors: Understanding who are the individuals or groups capable of carrying out a specific threat, either inside or outside your company?

Impact: If this risk event were to occur, what would the impact be to your organisation?

Likelihood: How likely is this risk event? With risks involving people, how difficult is it to carry out this specific threat, and what could they potentially gain? For more general risks, how often has this risk occurred over the past five years? How am I vulnerable.

Controls: What tools and processes do we have in place to mitigate or prevent the risks identified in our threat modelling exercise? We work with you to map out the probable risks you face and perform regular risk scenario exercises to find unexpected gaps in your cyber security planning.

Frequently asked questions

We answer the questions commonly asked by our customers and provide guidance on the security benefits our SOC Service can provide your organisation.

What is SOC-as-a-Service?
SOC-as-a-service, also sometimes referred to as SOC as a service, is a subscription- or software-based service that manages and monitors your logs, devices, clouds, network and assets for internal IT teams. The service provides companies with the knowledge and skills necessary to combat cybersecurity threats.
We know that not all companies can afford to build a cybersecurity team. For most organisations, simply managing the IT department is often a large enough task. This is where Askaris can come in and provide you with a complete functional outsourced solution without you needing to pay for cyber security teams in-house.
Why SOC-As-A-Service with Askaris?
SOC-as-a-service can be considered security for hire, and normally the entire cyber security element is outsourced to a partner. Outsourcing your cyber security to Askaris will greatly enhance your cyber posture and when integrated with your IT and other key areas of your business, you will be protected at a fraction of the cost of employing a full-time team. We understand that outsourcing your cybersecurity requirements still requires a strong ongoing partnership, and this is why you will benefit from a highly detailed onboarding process, full team alignment, and regular updates and reporting functionality.

“Cybersecurity threats continually transform and mature. Askaris Cyber Security, however, delivers the tools and expertise to continually monitor our environment and alert on these threats. I rest easier knowing our operations are monitored 24×7 with Askaris' SOC-As-A-Service.”
