Question 1

Does the Managed SOC also support NIS2?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Managed SOC helps organisations gain more insight into security incidents, risks and anomalies within their ICT environment.

Monitoring, reports and security insights support organisations in improving their cyber resilience and gaining better insight into risks and security measures.

Question 2

Can a Managed SOC prevent ransomware?

Accepted Answer

No security solution can guarantee that ransomware is fully prevented.

However, a Managed SOC helps organisations detect suspicious activities faster, make risks visible earlier and follow up on potential security incidents faster, which can significantly limit the impact.

Question 3

Does the Managed SOC support NIS2 and compliance processes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Security monitoring, reports and risk insights can support organisations in improving their cyber resilience and gaining better insight into risks, security measures and incidents.

Question 4

How does a Managed SOC connect to Managed IT and Co-Managed IT?

Accepted Answer

The Managed SOC works closely together with the Managed IT and Co-Managed IT services.

As a result, monitoring, management, support and security align within one integrated service model, so security incidents can be followed up faster.

Question 5

What does a Managed SOC cost?

Accepted Answer

Within the Managed IT and Co-Managed IT services, the Managed SOC is integrated into the workstation and server propositions.

The final costs depend on the size of the environment, the number of users, servers, cloud platforms and the desired security services.

Question 6

Can a Managed SOC monitor Microsoft 365?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Microsoft 365 forms an important part of the digital work environment for many organisations and is regularly targeted by phishing, account takeovers and unauthorised access attempts.

Our Managed SOC monitors, among other things, suspicious sign-ins, login attempts from unusual locations or countries, deviant user behaviour and security alerts within Microsoft 365.

As a result, suspicious activities can be identified and followed up faster before they lead to security incidents or unauthorised access to company data.

Question 7

What is the difference between antivirus and a SOC?

Accepted Answer

Antivirus software mainly focuses on blocking known threats on individual devices.

A SOC looks at the entire ICT environment, analyses events and detects deviant behaviour, suspicious activities and more advanced threats that traditional security solutions may not recognise.

Question 8

Do I need a SOC as an SME organisation?

Accepted Answer

Cyber threats are not limited to large organisations. SME organisations are also increasingly confronted with ransomware, phishing, account takeovers and other security incidents.

A Managed SOC provides access to security monitoring, analyses and specialist knowledge without having to build an internal Security Operations Center yourself.

Question 9

What is a Security Operations Center (SOC)?

Accepted Answer

A Security Operations Center (SOC) helps organisations detect, analyse and follow up on cyber threats faster through continuous monitoring of users, systems, networks and cloud environments.
