When we set out to create our Security Operations Centre (SOC) service, we knew it had to be something special – something that stood out in an industry crowded with buzzwords and acronyms.
We wanted a name that would capture the essence of what we were building: a service that was bold, versatile, and ready to tackle any challenge thrown its way. And after much brainstorming, we found inspiration in an unexpected place: the classic story of Frankenstein’s monster. And thus, FrankenSOC was born.
The birth of a monster (mashup)
Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein is a tale that has fascinated readers for generations. At its core, it’s the story of creation; of taking different parts and bringing them together to create something entirely new, something that challenges the boundaries of what’s possible. In many ways, that’s exactly what we set out to do with FrankenSOC.
In today’s cyber security landscape, organisations are bombarded with a dizzying array of tools, technologies, and services. SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), MDR (Managed Detection and Response), and EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) are just a few of the many acronyms that make up the cyber security alphabet soup. Each of these tools serves a specific purpose, and many organisations find themselves using a mix of different products to meet their unique security needs. But what happens when these tools need to work together seamlessly? That’s where FrankenSOC comes in.
Much like Frankenstein’s monster, FrankenSOC is a patchwork creation – a powerful combination of the best parts of different products. But instead of terrorising villages, our monster is dedicated to defending your organisation against cyber threats. We designed FrankenSOC to take on any SIEM, MDR, or EDR product that our customers use, stitching together these diverse tools into a cohesive and unstoppable force. It’s a monster mashup, but one with a purpose: to protect your digital world.
The anatomy of FrankenSOC
The genius of Frankenstein’s monster lies in its construction. Dr Frankenstein didn’t just throw together random body parts; he carefully selected each piece for its unique attributes, creating a being that was more than the sum of its parts. We took a similar approach when designing FrankenSOC.
FrankenSOC is not tied to any one vendor or technology. Instead, it’s designed to be highly adaptable, capable of integrating with any SIEM, MDR, or EDR product on the market. Whether you’re using Splunk, IBM QRadar, CrowdStrike, or any other tool, FrankenSOC can seamlessly integrate with your existing infrastructure. This flexibility is key to our approach, as it allows us to meet our customers where they are without requiring them to overhaul their entire security stack.
But it’s not just about integration. At its core, FrankenSOC is about optimisation. We take the best features of each product and combine them in a way that maximises their effectiveness. By leveraging our deep expertise in cyber security, we’re able to fine-tune each component, ensuring that they work together in harmony to provide comprehensive protection. The result is a UK-based SOC service that’s more than just a collection of tools; it’s a fully-integrated, highly-effective defence system.
The spirit of innovation
FrankenSOC is more than just a name; it’s a reflection of our commitment to innovation. In the ever-evolving world of cyber security, standing still is not an option. New threats emerge every day, and organisations need a security solution that can adapt to these changes. Like Frankenstein’s monster, which was created in response to a desire to push the boundaries of science, FrankenSOC was born out of our desire to push the boundaries of what’s possible in cyber security.
Innovation is at the heart of everything we do. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve our service, whether it’s by integrating new technologies, refining our processes, or exploring new approaches to threat detection and response. This spirit of innovation is what drives us to continue evolving FrankenSOC, ensuring that it remains at the cutting edge of cyber security.
FrankenSOC: a monster with a mission
At the end of the day, FrankenSOC is more than just a collection of tools and technologies. It’s a mission-driven service, dedicated to helping organisations defend themselves against the ever-present threat of cyberattacks. We understand that cyber security is not just about technology – it’s about people, processes, and the ability to respond quickly and effectively when an incident occurs.
FrankenSOC is designed with this mission in mind. Our team of experts is constantly monitoring the threat landscape, looking for new ways to protect our customers. Whether it’s through proactive threat hunting, rapid incident response, or continuous improvement of our detection capabilities, we’re committed to staying one step ahead of the attackers.
The future of FrankenSOC
As we look to the future, we’re excited about the possibilities for FrankenSOC. Just as Frankenstein’s monster was a product of its time, FrankenSOC is a product of the current cyber security landscape. But unlike the monster, which was ultimately doomed by its creator’s hubris, FrankenSOC is built to endure. We’re committed to continuing our mission of protecting organisations from cyber threats, no matter how the landscape evolves.
In the end, we named our SOC service FrankenSOC because it embodies everything we stand for – innovation, adaptability, and a relentless commitment to our customers’ security. Like the monster, it’s more than just a sum of its parts; it’s a powerful force for good in the world of cyber security.
