Security information & event management run by cyber security experts, threat intelligence, and 24x7x365 monitoring.
What is a managed SIEM?
A managed SIEM is a security information and event management platform run for you by an external SOC. It collects and correlates data from across your infrastructure — network devices, servers, endpoints, controllers and more — and a team of analysts monitors the alerts it raises around the clock, so the platform is watched rather than merely licensed.
A managed SIEM has many advantages when compared to an off-the-shelf product or building your own solution in-house.
The cheapest line on the quote, and the one that assumes you already have somebody to run it. You own the tuning, the noise, the integrations and the out-of-hours pager, and the product is the same whether it fits your estate or not.
You still have to operate it.It looks like the option with the most control, and it is, once it exists. Getting there means the technology, the hardware, the space, and people who have built one before. None of it detects anything until all of it is running.
You are hiring before you are detecting.We provide the technology, the people and the 24x7x365 monitoring, at a fraction of the cost of doing it yourself. No technology contracts to manage, no leasing and no hiring, and your team is only ever told about the alerts that need them.
See the managed SOC serviceWe understand that not every organisation is the same.
Rather than only offering a fully managed service, we are capable of working alongside your existing cyber security assets. This co-managed approach enables you to expand and optimise your current systems whilst retaining the in-house expertise, experience, and infrastructure that you have already invested in.

Wizard Cyber SOC
Wizard Cyber’s managed SIEM service provides your business with SIEM technology, backed up by a 24x7x365 SOC, operated by a large team of cyber security analysts and threat researchers.
Not only does this save your organisation enormous amounts of money when compared to operating a SIEM yourself, it eliminates the possibility of alert fatigue and ensures that every SIEM alert is dealt with quickly and appropriately.
To enhance your in-house security team, we work alongside you, filling in where required and ensuring that your cyber security provides complete network coverage. Our ability to offer 24x7x365 threat detection and response can bolster your team further, providing protection when they can’t, no matter where you are in the world.
Our managed SIEM is powered by Microsoft Sentinel, a Gartner Magic Quadrant Visionary. As a Microsoft Solutions Partner running Sentinel in production since 2019, we have support and guidance from Microsoft themselves. This allows us to utilise the SIEM to its full potential.
Our team of SOC analysts and threat researchers are experts at utilising Microsoft Sentinel to quickly detect and respond to threats. Backed up by our 24x7x365 SOC, your organisation’s network will be protected at all times, wherever you are in the world.
Our threat intelligence, combined with thorough log integrations, ensures that we have complete threat visibility across your entire network. This visibility enables us to respond to threats confidently and our intelligence ensures that every threat is prioritised swiftly and appropriately.
Microsoft Sentinel is able to integrate logs from any source, whether it be in a cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environment. We will work alongside your in-house team to ensure that logs are integrated from every appropriate source so that we can protect every aspect of your network at all times.
Our managed SIEM service takes the pressure of day-to-day alert management and response off of your in-house team’s shoulders. This allows you to focus on other areas of the business and security management. Your team will only ever be notified of alerts that require your attention before they can be responded to.
Proactive security monitoring and a capable SIEM are both requirements of GDPR, PCI DSS 4.0, and other regulatory standards. Our managed SIEM service ensures that you have everything you need from this perspective to meet the strict requirements of these standards and more.
Every member of our SIEM and SOC team is Microsoft-certified and have been using Microsoft Sentinel since its inception in 2019. We have carefully created this team to ensure that we have the expertise and experience required to protect your business from any cyber threats, whether they are current or emerging.

A security information and event management system (SIEM) collects data from a wide variety of sources throughout your organisation’s infrastructure. It will collect data from these sources, such as network devices, servers, endpoints, controllers, and more, so that it can collate and analyse the data to discover any cyber threats. When it discovers any irregularities, it creates an alert for your security team which details the anomalous behaviour and provides further information. This allows your team to investigate further and pinpoint any possible security breaches or ongoing attacks.
A SIEM is used as an alert system for SOC and security teams. It’s impossible for humans to monitor an enterprise’s infrastructure at the level of a SIEM, especially in real-time, so the functionality and level of monitoring it provides are invaluable. The alerts it generates are then used for a variety of threat response purposes. For example, Microsoft Sentinel can automatically respond to low-level threats or analysts can respond to escalated, or more dangerous, threats.
As a Microsoft Solutions Partner, we understand first-hand how dedicated Microsoft are to improving the effectiveness of their cyber security tools. The level of funding and development they have put into Microsoft Sentinel over the past decade has been extraordinary, and it shows in the breadth of what Sentinel now covers. Machine learning and artificial intelligence provide automated responses to threats, greatly reducing the workload of your SOC team. It integrates with a huge variety of tools, can pull data from almost any source in an organisation’s infrastructure, and puts that visibility in one place.
SIEMs solve a variety of different cyber security challenges that modern enterprises face. Firstly, SIEMs provide visibility of an infrastructure by pulling data from a huge variety of sources. Without this, organisations would be comparatively blind about what’s going on at a granular level in their infrastructure. Secondly, SIEMs provide an invaluable alert and triage system to your SOC team. Without this, it would be impossible to generate real-time alerts, organise and respond to threats, and triage threats based on the severity of the alert. Finally, SIEMs offer threat investigators a huge amount of data and tools that they can use to investigate more dangerous threats. Without this capability, an investigator would have to trawl through data manually, locate affected devices, and more, drastically increasing the time it takes to respond to threats.
