SOC Optimiser

Redefining SOC operations with AI.

We’ve embedded AI as the foundation of our security operations, not as an add-on feature.

Our SOC Optimiser is an AI-powered digital twin of our Tier-1 analysts, purpose-built to reduce noise and accelerate triage within our security operations centre (SOC). Architected as a core component of our People-Process-Technology framework, it integrates machine learning, deep learning and generative AI to autonomously filter low-value alerts, classify incidents and produce auditable reports, allowing our teams to focus on sophisticated threat investigation and strategic response.

Our SOC Optimiser represents a fundamental shift in how modern security operations function. We’re among the first to architect AI as a foundational SOC component rather than a supplementary tool, a reflection of our strategic investment in advancing Australian cybersecurity capability.

Cyber Security Services FAQs.

We deliver managed cyber security solutions that combine 24×7 monitoring, threat detection, response and continuous improvement across cloud, endpoint and network environments. Our services – including managed detection and response, managed XDR, managed SOC and managed SIEM – are all designed to reduce risk, improve response times and support compliance in complex Australian organisations.

These terms describe different layers of managed cyber security. Managed detection and response focuses on detecting and responding to threats, managed XDR correlates signals across multiple security tools, managed SIEM centralises and analyses security data, and a managed SOC brings these together with people and processes to operate security around the clock. Our services combine all of these into a single, managed capability.

Yes. Our managed SOC operates from Australia and is staffed by Australian-based security analysts. This supports data sovereignty, faster response times and alignment with Australian regulatory and compliance requirements.

Yes. Our managed cyber security services integrate deeply with Microsoft security tools, including Microsoft Defender and Microsoft Sentinel. This allows organisations already invested in the Microsoft ecosystem to maximise value while improving detection, response and visibility across their environment.

We provide active response, not just alerting. Our services focus on containing threats, reducing dwell time and supporting remediation workflows, so incidents are handled quickly and with clear accountability.

Yes. Many organisations use our cyber security solutions to augment an existing internal SOC or security team. We work alongside in-house teams to reduce alert fatigue, extend coverage and support response during critical incidents.
