As a trusted IT partner to businesses across the UK for over 25 years, the security of our client’s organisation has become one of our top priorities. Which is why we’re really excited to launch our latest offering; the Nexus Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution.
We appreciate those are both some serious acronyms right there, so let’s firstly break down what these two mean:
What is a Managed SOC?
A Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) is like having a dedicated team of security experts constantly watching over your digital assets. They monitor your networks, systems, and applications for any signs of suspicious activity or cyber threats. If they detect anything unusual, they investigate and respond swiftly to mitigate any potential risks. Essentially, it’s an outsourced solution that provides round-the-clock protection against cyber attacks, allowing businesses to focus on their core activities whilst knowing their digital infrastructure is in safe hands.
What is SIEM?
SIEM is an abbreviation for Security Information and Event Management.
Having a SIEM is like having a digital security command centre for your organisation. It collects and analyses data from various sources within your IT environment, such as logs, network traffic, and user activity. The goal is to detect patterns or anomalies that could indicate a security threat. SIEM helps organisations stay ahead of potential cyber attacks by providing real-time monitoring, alerting, and analysis of security events. It’s like having a digital detective that helps you identify and respond to security incidents before they escalate.
So, what’s exactly the difference between a Managed SOC and a SIEM?
A Managed SOC focuses on real-time monitoring and response to security incidents, whereas SIEM provides centralised visibility and analysis of security event data to detect and investigate potential threats. Both are essential components of a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, working together to enhance an organisation’s ability to detect, respond to, and mitigate security risks.

- Endpoint Security
- Network Security
- Cloud Security

Who needs a Managed SOC?
Cyber threats loom large for businesses of all sizes and industries. Whether you’re a small start-up or a large corporation, the risk of falling victim to cyber attacks is ever-present. However, implementing a Managed SOC can provide invaluable benefits for all businesses, regardless of their scale or sector.
By outsourcing cybersecurity to a Managed SOC provider, businesses can also access specialised expertise and advanced technologies that may be beyond their internal capabilities.
A Managed SOC can also help businesses comply with industry regulations and standards related to data security and privacy. For businesses operating in regulated sectors such as finance, healthcare, and legal services, maintaining compliance is not just a legal requirement but also a critical aspect of protecting sensitive information and maintaining client trust. A Managed SOC can assist businesses in implementing and maintaining robust security measures that align with regulatory requirements, thereby reducing the risk of non-compliance penalties and legal liabilities.
On top of this, by investing in a Managed SOC, you have a competitive advantage and can set yourself apart from the crowd by marketing how seriously your business takes it’s cyber security.
