Security Operations (SecOps)
At Wavelink, we are dedicated to providing Security Operation Centres with the tools they need to effectively strive for a strong security posture. Our partnerships with industry leaders in SecOps such as Fortinet and Swimlane ensure that we can provide our partners with solutions that deliver a strategic and intuitive approach to modern cybersecurity response capabilities.
SIEM
Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), pronounced “sim,” is a crucial solution that enables organizations to detect, analyse, and respond to security threats before they can impact business operations. By merging security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM) into a single system, SIEM technology collects event log data from diverse sources, performs real-time analysis to identify abnormal activities, and takes appropriate actions. This technology provides organizations with comprehensive visibility into network activities, allowing for swift responses to potential cyberattacks and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. Over the past decade, SIEM has advanced significantly, incorporating artificial intelligence to enhance the speed and intelligence of threat detection and incident response.
SOAR
Security orchestration integrates various internal and external tools via built-in or custom integrations and APIs, connecting systems like vulnerability scanners, endpoint protection products, firewalls, IDS/IPS, SIEM platforms, and external threat intelligence feeds. This integration enhances threat detection and context by gathering extensive data, though it also increases the volume of alerts and data to analyse. Security automation leverages this data to replace manual processes with automated ones, such as vulnerability scanning and log analysis. SOAR platforms use AI and machine learning to prioritize threats, make recommendations, and automate responses, while escalating issues for human intervention when necessary.

Accelerating Time to Detect and Disrupt
The Fortinet Security Operations (SecOps) platform effectively integrates behaviour-based sensors to identify and counteract threat actors across the entire attack surface and throughout the cyber kill chain. Powered by our operating system, FortiOS, Fortinet provides centralized investigation and remediation capabilities that can be orchestrated, automated, or enhanced to minimize cyber risk, expenses, and operational effort.
Managing SecOps Efficacy
With growing pressures from breaches, regulatory fines, understaffed or under skilled teams, and board expectations, SOC teams urgently need a force multiplier – security automation and AI. However, not all solutions are created equal. Modern SOC teams should strive for more than just “good enough” security automation. By centralizing and controlling security operations with Swimlane Turbine, you can quantify the business value of security and instantly improve metrics.
