For any business and organisation, large and small, cyberthreats are one of the biggest challenges of the digital age. As the threat landscape continues to evolve and become ever more complex, these attacks present risks that demand proactive strategies and continuous vigilance.
No business is immune. The use of increasingly sophisticated tactics to breach corporate networks to cause disruption and get hold of sensitive data is relentless. The cyber security threat manifests in many different forms, from malware, phishing attacks, and ransomware to insider threats ranging from human error to intentional breaches, all of which pose the same significant risk to operations and reputation.
Digitalisation and the migration to the cloud combined with the proliferation of interconnected devices and remote working has introduced infinite additional vulnerabilities causing the attack surface to continue to expand. Each of these endpoints is considered fair game for cyber attacks, which with the use of AI are becoming more dynamic, multi-faceted, and personalised.
As data security breaches have become more prolific, the regulatory landscape has stepped up. Noncompliance can result in substantial financial penalties and cause at the very least some erosion of trust, and at worst irreparable reputational damage.
Finding the talent
To build and maintain a robust and resilient security posture takes specialist expertise and skillsets. With a market
where demand for talent outpaces supply, it is leaving critical gaps in defence capabilities. Small and medium sized
businesses have become an increasing target to these types of attacks, and are often more at risk of falling foul as they are less likely to have the in-house resource and wider protections.
To help overcome the skills gap for our channel partners, we have recently launched Micro-SOC, based on Microsoft Sentinel. Arrow’s Managed Micro- SOC Service is designed to monitor Azure Sentinel environments, including Microsoft 365, Azure AD, and other critical sources, as well as fill the skills gaps, complementing existing resources.
The combination of access to our dedicated teams of security experts with a low-touch security operations centre (SOC) as a service is providing channel partners with a proactive approach to threat detection. The SOC uses Microsoft's cutting-edge technologies, threat detection and response capabilities, while Arrow’s security analysts monitor for suspicious activity and indicators of compromise. By delivering actionable recommendations, channel partners can effectively protect their end-customers’ environments and assets.
Designed as an entry level, first step into security monitoring based on a subscription model with no long-term commitment, Arrow’s micro-SOC offers a flexible, cost-effective solution accessible to organisations of all shapes and sizes. As scope and service levels grow, Arrow can help to bridge the gap between ad-hoc checking by an overworked IT team, to full time dedicated security monitoring.
