Effective Endpoint Management is critical in hybrid work scenarios, with the endpoint now being the place of work.  Atech was named Microsoft Partner of the Year Modern Endpoint Management finalists, one of only 7 Partners in the UK to receive this recognition.

As part of Atech’s managed SOC, modern Endpoint Management leverages Microsoft Defender suite tailored to your business without ever restricting your team’s ability to get their work done. Our Endpoint Protection and managed SOC ensure your systems are protected from chip to cloud. Modern Endpoint Management has evolved to deliver enhanced security, low touch admin and a better user experience. We have the readiness to transform your Endpoint Management.

Azure Information Protection (AIP) is a cloud solution that allows your business to securely discover, classify and protect documents and emails by applying labels to incoming/outgoing content.

Azure Rights Management (Azure RMS) is the cloud-based protection used by Azure Information Protection. Azure RMS is designed to protect sensitive information across devices through encryption, identity, and authorisation policies that are tailored to your organisation’s requirements.

Information Protection offers collaborative advantages for your team to safely share and exchange protected files, such as an attachment to an email or a link to a SharePoint site.

A compromised identity credential, even one with low-level privileges, is all a hacker needs to gain entry into your organisation to begin moving undetected and with access to mission-critical systems and data.

To implement strong Identity Protection, as MSSPs we support your business by rapidly detecting compromised identities and proactively preventing them from being misused.

Azure AD Identity Protection uses heuristics and adaptive machine learning to detect unusual behaviour and suspicious incidents that indicate potentially compromised identities. This industry-leading tech generates alerts and reports that enable administrators to evaluate detected issues and responsively take the appropriate action to remediate or mitigate the issue.

A managed security service provider, like Atech, is a company that your business collaborates with to secure data within your organisation. By outsourcing your cybersecurity workload with us, you can access specialist support and leading cloud-first tools at a more cost-effective rate than you would in-house. In turn, you receive bespoke security solutions via industry best practices and leading software.

A SOC is a dedicated security team that uses various technologies to actively monitor and respond to threats across an organisation’s IT infrastructure. SOC technologies and processes include vulnerability scanning and post-incident reporting and analysis. The people, processes and technologies used in SOCs are integral to minimising the potential dangers and costs of data breaches and attacks on your systems.

The focus of an SOC is to gain complete visibility of all information coming into and circulating within your enterprise IT systems. Once full transparency is
achieved, a SOC’s goal becomes monitoring, detecting cyber threats, remediating them. Post-incident reporting is also vital, as thorough analysis
helps SOCs recommend solutions, preventing vulnerabilities from becoming an issue in future.

There are four main categories of Security operations centre (SOC), including:

• Managed Security Service Providers (MSSP), i.e. outsourced Security-as-a-Service providers.
• Dedicated SOC (also known as internal SOCs, handling data security on behalf of an organisation).
• Co-Managed SOCs (hybrid SOCs comprising internal and external cybersecurity teams).
• Command SOC is a centralised management team supervising a smaller Security Operations Centre.

A business can opt to build an internal SOC team, or they can choose to outsource these services to an external Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). The advantage of working with MSSPs is instant access to the latest cybersecurity tools and expertise, ensuring that your data remains safeguarded from the moment you sign up with your service provider.

Companies gain many advantages from investing in SOC services, including, single pane of glass visibility and continuous, proactive monitoring of IT systems, decreased cybersecurity expenditure and consolidation of the technology stack , and assurance that data compliance procedures will be maintained at all times. Most importantly, SOCs ensure that the threat surface is reduced and that remediation takes place in near real time,ensuring your ability to stay profitable in the digitised economy.
