A new cyber security services company has launched today, which pledges to deliver unparalleled expertise and cutting-edge technology to organisations.
Headquartered in Glasgow, Acumen offers clients a fully managed 24/7 Security Operations Centre (SOC), while its roster of partners include CrowdStrike, Elastic, Fortinet, and Barracuda.
“Our 24/7 Security Operations Centre strives to combine the right people, technology, and methodologies. We set ourselves an ambitious goal – there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to cyber security challenges, but we believe we have assembled an impressive package tailored to our clients’ needs,” said Kevin Robertson, co-founder and Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Acumen.
Acumen has been established as an independent MSSP by the leadership team of Glasgow based, MSP, Silver Cloud. Kevin Robertson, COO, alongside Mark Robertson, Acumen co-founder and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO), joined Silver Cloud with the sole mission of establishing a dedicated cyber security business that delivers world-leading talent, tooling, and expertise to organisations.
Operating under the Silver Cloud brand, Acumen has enjoyed nearly two years of well-funded innovation, research and development. It launches today as a fully independent entity, solely focused on addressing the diverse and persistent cyber security threats damaging organisations today.
The organisation has been established to bring organisations bespoke and tailored packages to help them tackle their most complex cyber challenges. Organisations can benefit from managed Extended Detection and Response (XDR), Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), training, and consultancy, with the Acumen team being available round the clock, operating from its state-of-the-art SOC in Glasgow.
“By extending a service typically reserved for large enterprises to the broader market, I am confident we will realise our vision of becoming one of the top five Managed Security Service Providers in the UK within the next five years,” said Mark Robertson, CRO of Acumen. “This market has long been underserved by managed service providers relying solely on software solutions for security. This approach inundates organisations with alerts devoid of context or feedback. We’re taking a different route. While leveraging market-leading technology, it’s our team of expert engineers who will provide guidance, support, and genuine value to our clients. Cyber security is not a destination; it is a journey. Acumen is the partner that will accompany you every step of the way,” he concluded.
