Stay protected against cyber attacks

Unstructured data is growing at lightning speed As Cybersecurity Awareness Month wraps up, we want to share some key insights to help your organisation stay protected against cyber attacks.

Cyber threats are becoming more frequent and sophisticated, making it essential to have a solid cybersecurity framework. That’s where boxxe can help—starting with the benefits of a SOC.

What is a SOC?

A Security Operations Centre (SOC) is a centralised team that monitors, detects, and responds to security threats in real-time. SOC has four core functions:

Monitoring

Monitoring

24/7 surveillance of networks and systems.

Detection

Detection

 Identifying threats and vulnerabilities.

A SOC expert monitoring IT infrastructure

Incident response

Rapidly addressing and mitigating incidents.

Threat intelligence

Using data to anticipate and counteract threats.

That’s a SOC in a nutshell—here’s why it’s so important.

The evolving threat landscape

Cyber threats are constantly evolving. With 24/7 protection, a SOC ensures that threats are detected and mitigated as they happen, minimising damage through rapid response. Our SOC service is already harnessing the power of AI and machine learning to strengthen our threat intelligence capabilities. By integrating these advanced technologies into our workflows, we’re able to analyse vast amounts of data in real time, rapidly identifying potential threats and suspicious activities before they escalate. 

This proactive approach enables us to protect our customers from large-scale attacks with greater precision and speed, ensuring that your organisation remains secure and resilient against evolving cyber threats. With AI and ML continuously enhancing our threat detection and response, we’re dedicated to staying one step ahead of potential risks, delivering unmatched protection for your business.

Is cybersecurity my problem?

In today’s digital world, cybersecurity is everyone’s concern. The financial impact of data breaches—including fines, lost revenue, and reputational damage—is significant.

IBM's 2024 “Cost of a Data Breach Report” highlights that the global average cost of a data breach has reached an all-time high of $4.88 million - a 10% increase on 2023 - underscoring the importance of preventive measures. 

Prevention is better than cure. 

SOC services prevent costly breaches through continuous monitoring and rapid incident response, reducing the burden on internal IT teams so they can focus on strategic initiatives. The long-term cost savings and enhanced security make SOC services a worthwhile investment.
