Borderless CS launches AI-driven SOC & MDR for cyber defence

Borderless CS has launched a comprehensive Security Operations Centre (SOC) and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) service for businesses facing complex cyber risks. These services aim to support organisations across a range of sectors, from small- and medium-sized enterprises to larger government and enterprise clients, amid growing concerns over the rising cost and prevalence of data breaches.

SOC explained

A Security Operations Centre is a team and technology framework that provides 24-hour monitoring, threat detection, and incident response. The operation uses a combination of real-time analytics, threat intelligence feeds, and robust automation tools to help prevent, detect, and respond to cyber incidents. Key functionalities include continuous monitoring, rapid incident response, and vulnerability management.

Borderless CS employs an integrated approach using global threat intelligence, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven analytics, and automated detection to ensure a rapid response to emerging security incidents. The company states that the blending of machine learning with expert human oversight helps minimise false positives and ensures nuanced responses to threats.

Proactive threat hunting

According to Borderless CS, its service differs from traditional SOCs by combining advanced SIEM (Security Information and Event Management), XDR (Extended Detection and Response), and continuous threat hunting. Human analysts observe behaviours and identify anomalies before attackers can exploit vulnerabilities.

This approach is designed to offer more adaptive protection against the automation, AI, and social engineering techniques now commonly used by threat actors. The SOC is structured to minimise the chance of suspicious activities slipping by undetected.

MDR offering

MDR services offered by Borderless CS are aimed at organisations requiring external expertise and resources without the cost of expanding internal security teams. These services go beyond alerting businesses to attacks; they provide active response and remediation, continuous monitoring, and forensic analysis of incidents.

The MDR solution includes endpoint detection and response for laptops, servers, and cloud workloads. Behavioural analytics powered by machine learning assist in early identification of unusual activity, while forensic tools support incident investigations and resolution.

Cost and compliance

Borderless CS positions its SOC and MDR services as a way for businesses to avoid the significant capital investment required to build in-house operations. The services support compliance requirements for a range of standards including ISO 27001, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS, providing detailed reporting to aid clients' audit and regulatory needs.

Businesses in healthcare, finance, education, and the government sector are key target markets, as these sectors typically handle sensitive information and face strict regulatory scrutiny.

Support and customisation

The company's cybersecurity analysts provide continuous support and adapt security strategies based on each client's particular risk profile. 24-hour monitoring is a standard part of the service, aligned with the fact that digital threats can occur at any time of day or night.

"Our team is dedicated to providing tailored cybersecurity protection that keeps pace with the evolving threat landscape," said Himali Dhande, Cybersecurity Operations Lead, Borderless CS.
