Kyndryl says that its SOC offers combined and comprehensive management of cybersecurity threats and incident response services, which are two key elements for cyber-protection and resilience.
Designed to serve the specific requirements of the Brazilian market, Kyndryl’s local SOC is a 24-hour operation that provides resources, skills and expertise in monitoring, identifying, managing and responding to cybersecurity incidents.
The SOC is underpinned by Kyndryl’s security operations as a platform (SOaaP) capability.
The SOaaP is a single, unified digital platform that provides a centralized view to help monitor, detect, prevent and respond to the latest cyber-threats in real-time, in a flexible delivery and collaborative approach with Kyndryl’s global partnership ecosystem.
Integrated on Kyndryl Bridge, the SOaaP enables Kyndryl to provide enhanced visibility, risk and threat management to a customer’s entire IT estate to determine the impact of any threats more quickly while also streamlining the orchestration required between IT operations and cybersecurity operations.
“With this SOC in Hortolândia, Kyndryl Brazil is bringing valuable new support and protection to all our customers across Brazil, enabling them to secure their IT environments against rising cyber-threats and tap into our global intelligence on scaling threats,” said Spencer Gracias, Managing Director at Kyndryl Brazil.
