Acumen Cyber, an engineer-powered cyber security services provider, has announced its Security Operations Centre (SOC) has received accreditation from CREST, the internationally recognised body that supports and certifies the highest-quality organisations and individuals in the cyber security industry. The accreditation highlights that CREST has recognised Acumen’s ability to deliver the highest level of protection to detect, analyse, and respond to cyber threats.
“We are thrilled to receive this prestigious accreditation,” said Kevin Robertson, COO of Acumen Cyber. “This achievement not only validates our team’s capabilities and expertise, but also assures our clients that they are partnering with a trusted provider that delivers the highest level of protection for their digital assets.”
Unlike other SOCs, Acumen’s team of engineers are proactive threat hunters that work with an ‘assumed breach’ mentality. Every alert is treated as a potential true positive, until proven otherwise, while the SOC boasts a team of full-stack engineers who understand the entire lifecycle of a security event. The team works 24/7 from Acumen’s state-of-the-art SOC and follows an ethos that if you open an investigation, you close an investigation, empowering the team, while offering confidence to customers that any potential threats will always be investigated fully, and remediated, by the highest calibre of security engineers.
“Acumen set itself a goal to strive higher than any other SOCs on the market today. We don’t simply react to incidents and leave our clients to do the mitigation, we offer genuine support, value and expertise. With Acumen, every investigation ends with a post-mortem analysis. Lessons are identified and potential enhancements are noted. This continuous feedback loop ensures the SOC is always evolving, always refining its processes, and always sharpening its skills. We are not merely reacting to yesterday’s threats, we are proactively hunting for, and protecting against, tomorrow’s – ensuring are clients are always one step ahead.”
Headquartered in Glasgow, Acumen offers clients a roster of market-leading technology partners includes CrowdStrike, Elastic, Fortinet, and Sentinel One – turning it into one of the only MSSPs to offer such a powerful combination of world leading products to the UK market. Acumen’s core lies in its engineering excellence, adopting a unique approach that views security as an engineering challenge encompassing technology, processes, automation, and intelligent workflows, tipping the balance in favour of defenders.
