Use cases: Tangible Results

Implementing SOC-as-a-Service for health care provider

A major hospital treating 60,000 patients a year sought to reduce the costs of its internal SIEM system as the know-how and capacity to operate this 24/7 was beyond the scope of its in-house IT department.

Our partner replaced the hospital’s previous generation firewalls and in-house SIEM system with MSSD Managed SOC. This delivered the customer a significant cost advantage,  predictable opex-based model and the technology and experienced security professionals necessary to operate a 24/7 SOC

The customer benefits from significantly enhanced cybersecurity, can achieve compliance audits with ease and is able to deploy its IT staff to other strategic priorities.

Designing a zero-trust architecture for major defence company

Our customer, a major defence company, had grown rapidly via a series of acquisitions and was faced with a patchwork of security solutions, technologies and vendors. It wanted to revise its security strategy to be more proactive and future-proof its security architecture.

Exclusive Networks designed a zero-trust MSSD architecture, implementing segmentation, policies and next-gen firewalls globally, along with providing 24×7 monitoring, detection and remediation from the data centre to the endpoint.

The result is a coherent and scalable security architecture, backed by a complete managed service. This has ensured bandwidth and cost savings, and enhanced security posture – a true zero-trust, future-proofed architecture across its group.

SOC monitoring and policy management for local government authority

The IT team at this city municipality struggled to manage the multi-site complexity of a sprawling network with increasing performance and security demands.

The MSSD solution incorporates a virtual network based on zero trust, a flexible network service based on capacity subscriptions and a managed security monitoring and policy service.

Instead of the municipality’s own IT department monitoring all the resources and hardware, Exclusive Networks’ MSSD SOC now monitors all this for them. The SOC maintains the hardware, monitors the network traffic and performs policy management, 24/7 – ensuring complete security as well as network scalability and flexibility at an affordable and predictable cost.
