Factory Internet Launches ‘SOC Lite’ to Help Sussex Businesses Strengthen Cyber Security

Sussex-based technology provider Factory Internet has announced the launch of SOC Lite, a new managed cyber security service designed specifically to help small and medium-sized businesses strengthen their cyber resilience without the cost and complexity of a traditional Security Operations Centre (SOC).

With cyber threats continuing to evolve, many SMEs face the challenge of protecting their business, customer data and reputation while working within limited IT resources and budgets. Factory Internet has developed SOC Lite to provide enterprise-grade protection in a practical, affordable service tailored to SMEs.

Why cyber security matters

Cyber attacks are no longer a problem faced only by large organisations. Small and medium-sized businesses are increasingly being targeted, with phishing, ransomware and data breaches posing significant risks to business continuity and customer trust.

Many organisations recognise the importance of improving their security but don’t require or can’t justify the complexity and expense of a full enterprise Security Operations Centre.

Introducing SOC Lite

SOC Lite provides businesses with continuous, 24/7 monitoring from a UK-based Security Operations Centre, helping to detect threats early and respond quickly before they become costly incidents.

The service includes:

24/7 UK-based Security Operations Centre monitoring and incident response
External vulnerability scanning to identify and reduce security risks
Faster detection and prevention of cyber security incidents
Evidence-based reporting for compliance, auditing and board reporting
Greater assurance for business leaders and stakeholders
Reduced reliance on small internal IT teams
The potential to improve cyber insurance eligibility and reduce insurance premiums

Supporting Sussex Businesses

As a long-standing Sussex chamber member and Technology partner, Factory Internet has been helping businesses across the region improve their IT infrastructure, connectivity and cyber security for many years. The launch of SOC Lite reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to making advanced Cyber security accessible to local organisations.
