by Eleanor Barlow • Aug 2024
SecurityHQ recently expanded its facilities in Australia, with a new Security Operations Centre (SOC) located in Brisbane.
The new SOC is a state-of-the-art facility, built with partners Data#3, and is designed to rapidly identify and limit the impact of security incidents, via 24/7/365 threat monitoring, detection, and targeted response.
SecurityHQ has been operating in Australia for many years. With the expansion of the team and the demand of Australian-based clients, it was a natural decision to open a new SOC based in location, and is part of our growth plan in the region.
As security threats increase around the world, the right people, processes, and technology need to be in place for every organization. This new SOC will enhance the services to Australia-based Data#3 partners and clients, and act as an extension of their teams.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with Data#3 to establish this advanced SOC in Brisbane, building on our long-standing partnership. This collaboration significantly enhances our ability to deliver top-tier cybersecurity services, ensuring our clients’ critical assets are secure and their operations remain resilient. The Brisbane SOC will leverage SecurityHQ’s global network and Data#3’s extensive local expertise to provide unparalleled visibility and protection against cyber threats.” – Farhan Baig, Regional Director Australia & PAC Island, SecurityHQ
Brad Colledge, CEO and Managing Director of Data#3 expressed his enthusiasm for the new facility: “The opening of this SOC marks a significant milestone in our journey to provide unparalleled security services to our customers. Security remains the top priority for business and technology leaders, and with the ever-increasing threat landscape, this facility is another strategic investment toward alleviating the burden on IT teams. It allows them to focus on transformation projects and shaping their digital future.” – Read Data#3’s full release, here.
