SME News Southern Enterprise Awards 2024/ 8 Today, cybersecurity teams are facing an uphill struggle, dragged down by increasing numbers of threats, skills gaps, and tool sprawl. As a result, they are forced to work like machines. This situation isn’t sustainable, it increases the risk of human error, and it results in cyber incidents that are actually avoidable. Enter SecureAck, born out of the need to do cybersecurity differently. The developer of the cutting-edge A-Ops platform, this solution enables organisations to build limitless automations, eliminating the risks that come with working cybersecurity professionals like machines.

An industry-first, this MAaaS offering allows organisations to achieve fully automated security operations that are backed by 24/7 monitoring and incident response. This comes as an automation-first solution to what would otherwise be a highly skilled and resourceheavy task, and it also significantly reduces the cost of entry, making it an affordable solution for small businesses. SecureAck partners with a range of businesses operating in industries from retail to manufacturing to everything in between. For its smaller customers, it offers a fully managed service that allows them access to all the benefits of cybersecurity automation, but without the need to invest in an internal team. All customers are assigned technical support managers for their entire product lifecycle and the level of support has been applauded by customers, including rail industry provider, Lur, who praised SecureAck as “very professional and efficient in all my dealings with them. The customer support has been great with any questions answered quickly”. “SecureAck and A-Ops brings limitless intelligent data driven automation to security teams who often describe A-Ops as a Swiss army knife due to its versatility. With A-Ops, you define how you want to work, and it supports you in achieving the objectives of security for your business.” Notably, UK sportswear brand, Castore turned to A-Ops with the need to improve its security measures in a way that was budget-friendly and reliable on a long-term basis. A-Ops has since significantly improved Castore’s cybersecurity by, first of all, enabling critical use cases, including out-of-the-box integration across SaaS services to ingest log data. Using A-Ops, Castore have been able to setup and prioritise high-priority events, enhancing operational security through improved monitoring and response capabilities. Also, Castore has found that A-Ops drives tangible results, allowing it to now run over 500 security automations monthly, streamlining processes that previously required manual intervention. The company is planning on doubling its automation usage over the next year, integrating more sophisticated workflows to handle emerging security risks. Finally, A-Ops has improved Castore’s incident response and operational resiliency, reducing the time to resolve security alerts by 40%. Castore reported that A-Ops massively reduced the time its teams have spent on repetitive security tasks, and it highlighted the platform’s ability to identify and respond to incidents quickly. Meanwhile, SecureAck has also worked with a multinational supply chain firm headquartered in Oxford that was going through a complex cloud migration involving multiple consultants and technology platforms.
