SIEM, or security information and event management, is an ideal tool that provides your business with an additional layer of protection by identifying potential threats before they find you.
Many businesses are faced with limited IT resources and cyber security expertise, which can be costly and cause complex issues.
Learn more below about what a SIEM actually does and how our cost-effective service can help you.
A strong defense against evolving cyber threats requires an always-on security mentality. But for many SMEs with limited resources, shifting to a more proactive approach to threat detection can be difficult.
Your endpoints aka your desktop computers, laptops, smartphones etc. collects a lot of “log data”. However, it is usually never analysed by the right people to understand the threat landscape.
As a business owner, you simply do not have the time or the resources to look into this data and traditional antivirus software will not look deeply enough.
There is also the point on education, unless you run an IT business like ours, it is highly unlikely you’ll understand the entire nature of your network.
This is where SIEM comes in.
Through a combination of artificial intelligence, automation, expert analysis and more, a SIEM SOC solution can detect that needle in a haystack when every second counts.
We’ve leveraged industry standards like the NIST Cyber Security Framework in building an effective SIEM solution that strengthens security controls and complies with regulatory standards.
Continuous network monitoring collects millions of security events in one centralised location in real time. A SIEM solution offers a unique holistic visibility into your entire network including devices and cloud resources.
We apply pre-established, artificial intelligence rules (unique to your business) to the event logs in order to flag suspicious activity. Advanced analytics comb through events to determine which require immediate attention.
Automated, instant notifications send verified threats to our support team for remediation, so the work here is hands-off from your perspective. Response time is critical to reducing and/or eliminating security threats before they have a chance to escalate.
A SIEM’s centralised logs and enhanced, on-demand functionality provide the monitoring, analysis and reporting essential to meeting PCI DSS, GDPR, FCA, SRA and NSCS industry compliance requirements.

Navigating the world of cyber security solutions can be complex, but at FTS, we believe in transparency and clarity.
Our streamlined process ensures that you are informed at every stage, setting clear expectations and delivering results that align with your business objectives.
Discovery Session: We begin with a comprehensive consultation to understand your unique business requirements, existing cyber security infrastructure, and specific data protection needs.
Essential Assessment: We’ll carry out a Gap Analysis questionnaire based on your current security posture. This is built in line with a framework called NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). NIST reviews how we identify, protect, detect, respond and recover to cyber attacks and threats.
Risk Mitigation: We’ll outline a robust and easy-to-interpret risk mitigation plan of action for the next 12 months. Your risk assessment questionnaire will help inform this plan alongside our own expert knowledge in the field of cyber security for SMEs.
Go Live: Once we’ve discussed your plan and our proposal, we’ll then move forward to the implementation of the selected cyber products and services. All of which is handled by our in-house cyber engineers.
Compliance: Compliance regulations require documentation and reporting. A SIEM solution provides centralised, built-in, easy-to-use, real-time log collection, alerting and reporting features.
Visibility: A SIEM solution provides real-time visibility into what’s happening across your entire network — 24/7/365.
Remediation: Real threats are identified, isolated and remediated quickly before they can cause serious harm and costly business disruptions.
We Call It E-R-I-N.
Events
First, we collect millions of security alerts, or events, from your entire network.
Rules
Then, we apply rules to determine which events are actionable threats. (These threats become incidents.)
Incidents
Next, the most critical incidents get immediate attention.
Notifications
Finally, your response team is instantly notified so remediation can begin.
With today’s ever-evolving cyber security landscape, a SIEM solution plays a critical role in staying ahead of the latest threats. And while every business can benefit from a SIEM, those that must comply with industry and government regulations and those looking to qualify for cyber security insurance will find it essential.
Candidly, there are a lot of IT companies in our area who aren’t recommending security at all. But that’s ignoring the threats around us and is a tremendous disservice to their clients.
Here at FTS, we’d rather be up front about the challenges facing us. We’ve worked very hard to find solutions that are budget friendly, especially when you consider the cost of downtime or lost reputation due to a breach.
First, data is often more valuable than you realise, when sold on the dark web. Would your #1 competitor pay £10,000 for your business plans, acquisition plans, or marketing strategy? Would someone pay for your usernames and passwords, so they can log into your network without your knowledge? Quite possibly.
But in the case of ransomware, the criminal doesn’t want your data. But they know that YOU value your data and will pay to get it back if they encrypt it. That’s why our solution comes with specific ransomware protection.
