Benefits of the Essential 8 Assessment Service
While SOC and SIEM are both powerful tools individually, together they provide a comprehensive, layered defense strategy. Here’s how they complement each other:
Enhanced Security Posture
With the Essential 8 strategies, you can significantly reduce your vulnerability to cyber threats like ransomware, data breaches, and phishing attacks.

Implementing these strategies will help you align with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
Proactive Threat Mitigation
With a focus on preventing threats rather than just detecting them, the Essential 8 provides a proactive approach to cyber security.
