MANCHESTER, UK. June 28th, 2024 – CloudGuard, a leading Microsoft security automation specialist and Managed Security Services Provider, is thrilled to announce the launch of its Security Operations Centre (SOC) in Manchester.
This strategic move aims to meet growing customer demand, providing 24x7x365 security expertise to both UK and international businesses. This expansion is particularly beneficial for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that often lack the resources and talent to build and manage their own SOC teams effectively.
Following the recent relocation of its Head Office to Manchester, CloudGuard continues to strengthen its presence in the city, capitalising on Manchester's growing reputation as a major cyber hub. The expanded SOC will offer unparalleled security services, including operational and incident response, security product support, threat hunting, security automation, and advanced data science.
Matt Lovell, CEO of CloudGuard said: “As our customers and their requirements continue to change and evolve, so must we. We are delighted to now include greater round-the-clock UK-based security expertise at all levels from our Manchester home. Manchester is rapidly becoming a major cyber hub for talent and expertise, and our growing partnership with universities in the area to accelerate our data science and automation developments is really exciting."
