Success Stories

How we helped a local authority migrate and monitor their security estate

A decision to upgrade and monitor their cyber security environment left a borough council looking for expert assistance

A large local authority recognised the need to update their existing cyber security environment to effectively protect their users, data, and systems.

Also, the council lacked any kind of centralised visibility to detect and mitigate potential cyber threats, which they acknowledged as a weak point in their security strategy that could lead to a potential data breach or compliance failure.

What was achieved?

With our advice and team of experienced security engineers, Secon Cyber helped the council securely migrate to Sophos email, web, endpoint, and server security solutions without any downtime.

In addition to supplying and successfully migrating the council’s cyber security solutions, we provided them with complete visibility and control across their endpoint and server estates with our ConnectProtect® Managed Detection and Response. With this added protection, the council gained 24x7x365 continuous log monitoring, management and proactive incident response by our in-house security operations centre (SOC).

As part of this project, our team continues to:

Provide visibility, consistency and centralised policy management across the council’s Sophos security estate

Monitor their endpoint and server logs 24x7x365 through our ConnectProtect ® platform

Perform proactive threat hunting and investigation using both our SOC and AI

Issue monthly service reviews to address trends and risks we observe in our ConnectProtect® platform and offer advice on how to mitigate these concerns
