SOC in a Box: a managed service to simplify security incident response 

Organisations are increasingly exposed to cyber attacks and the problem is getting worse, with attacks becoming more sophisticated. Which is why organisations protect themselves with multiple layers of security. Protection is important, but so too is speed and effectiveness. However, many companies do not have enough professionals or simply need to dedicate their personnel to activities directly related to the business.

This is why more organisations are entrusting companies specialised in technology services to manage their cybersecurity quickly and effectively and at a competitive price.

At Ikusi, as a company specialised in cybersecurity technology services, we have jointly developed SOC in a Box with our partner, Cisco. This is a managed security service that combines Cisco XDR technology and Ikusi’s services to notably simplify the response to security incidents.

SOC in a Box by Ikusi integrates all the security solutions, irrespective of the manufacturer, and provides an easy way to view what is happening on the network. 

SOC in a Box by Ikusi is a comprehensive managed security service that includes implementation of the service, integrated management of the platform, incident and response service and monthly reporting.

To ensure its effectiveness, the service is provided in four stages:

• Identify: review the incident and confirm the findings
• Contain: take action against the affected hosts, domains and files
• Eradicate: mitigate or remedy vulnerabilities and remove malicious content
• Recover: validate the repair steps and restore the affected services

Deployment of the SOC in a Box managed service will offer many benefits to organisations, such as lower risk and cost of data breaches (50%), 90% increase in the effectiveness of SecOps (security operations) and 85% less time required to remediate attacks. In short, organisations will have greater security, quicker response time and better detection. Three major reasons for opting for the SOC in a Box managed service.
