Organisations often seek a Security Operations Center (SOC) for comprehensive cyber security monitoring and incident response. However, for Darktrace customers, Managed dSOC offers a uniquely valuable alternative that can address critical security needs without replicating the full scope of a traditional SOC.

• Deep Integration: Unlike traditional SOCs, Managed dSOC is fully integrated with the Darktrace Threat Visualiser (TV), providing real-time visibility and actionable insights directly from the platform 

Focused on Network-Level Defense 

• Proactive Threat Hunting: Managed dSOC analysts perform daily triage and threat-hunting sessions, identifying early Indicators of Compromise (IOCs) and detecting low-sophistication threats that may go unnoticed. 

• 24/7 Monitoring: Around-the-clock monitoring ensures rapid response to high-severity events, bolstered by skilled analysts who proactively contact customers during incidents. 

• High-Value Asset Protection: Dedicated focus on monitoring critical assets ensures that key organisational resources are safeguarded against evolving threats.
