Socura Strengthens Partnership with Google Cloud

In a significant move to enhance its cybersecurity offerings, Socura, a prominent UK-based cybersecurity services provider, has joined the Google Cloud Partner Advantage Program as an MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) Initiative Partner. This collaboration aims to leverage advanced technologies to provide robust security solutions to various organizations in the UK, including major NHS trusts, councils, and private sectors.

Expansion of Services with Google SecOps

With an increasing number of cyber threats targeting organizations worldwide, Socura is set to expand its utilization of Google Security Operations (SecOps). This intelligence-driven, AI-powered security platform will allow Socura to enhance its Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services. The incorporation of Google SecOps allows Socura's Security Operations Centre to detect and respond to threats more efficiently, thus ensuring the protection of its clients' sensitive information.

Particularly notable is that all public sector organizations in Wales will have the opportunity to deploy Google SecOps through Socura's contracts to establish CymruSOC. This initiative positions Socura's operational capabilities at the forefront of cybersecurity response efforts, ensuring faster threat detection and mitigation.

A Legacy of Expertise and Trust

Being one of the inaugural MSSP partners with Google Cloud in the UK since 2020, Socura's long-standing collaboration with Google highlights its commitment to utilizing top-tier technology for enhancing security operations. In 2024, the company was acknowledged as one of the leading managed security services providers on a global scale, reaffirming its expertise and influence in the cybersecurity landscape.

Socura's CEO, Andy Kays, emphasized the importance of trusted partnerships in cybersecurity, stating, "Joining Google Cloud Partner Advantage ensures that we can continue delivering outcomes our clients need to keep pace with threats. Security teams require reliable providers that can alleviate their workload rather than add to it, and our collaboration with Google secures that promise."

Enhanced Detection Capabilities

The implementation of Google SecOps allows Socura to maintain a competitive edge in threat detection and response. Jamie Brummell, Socura's CTO and Co-Founder, acknowledged the critical role that tools like Google SecOps play in their operational framework, underscoring the importance of timely threat identification and defense: "As a dedicated Managed Detection and Response provider, it's essential to have the right tools and intelligence necessary to detect and halt attacks as early as possible. Combining Google SecOps with our SOC team’s skills and expertise ensures we can respond to threats rapidly, often within minutes."

Upcoming Webinar

In furthering its commitment to cybersecurity education and collaboration, Socura will co-host a live webinar with Google titled 'Mastering Detection Engineering with Google Cloud Security' on December 4th at 11 AM GMT. This session aims to offer insights into effectively implementing detection engineering methods and maximizing security operations in the cloud. Interested participants can register through the provided link to ensure they gain knowledge from the experts in the field.
