Security Services
The best protection against cyber attacks is a security posture tailored to your needs.
Security Services
It’s no longer a question of whether you’ll face an attack, but when, and how often you’ll appear in the hacker’s sights.
Your cyber defences need to provide your business reliable protection against threats. And, just like the fire, police or any other emergency service, they need to be ready to come to your aid 24 / 7.
Syntax will help you design your cyber security model, implement it, and then will continue to monitor it as part of a made-to-measure solution.
At the Syntax Security Operations Center, we know how the minds of cyber criminals work. By introducing this multi-layered model, based on our real-world experience and innovative technology, you can give your business the best possible protection.
The four pillars of a structured security strategy
A comprehensive cyber security strategy is based on four pillars, which together form an effective screen to protect your business. Each of the pillars blocks a specific attack scenario commonly used by cyber criminals to penetrate businesses like yours. Working together, these barriers will thwart any attempt to compromise your critical business systems and data, allowing you to concentrate undisturbed on your core activities.
All four pillars are managed 24/7/365 by our Security Operations Center (SCO), and form the strategic basis to guarantee your business continuity. Our approach has a consistent focus on anticipating, detecting and eliminating cyber threats and events. Security Services from Syntax gives you peace of mind. You can be confident that you are protected by the very latest security technologies, and can avoid the risks arising from new security vulnerabilities.
How do the pillars of the Syntax Security Posture work?
1. Endpoint Protection
The devices that people use to connect to your corporate network (including devices operated by remote users) are secured by a range of protect and respond functions. Syntax has designed its robust MDR (Managed Endpoint Detection and Response) solution to enhance monitoring of devices for security-relevant activities with proactive threat hunting. The entire solution can be integrated with other security infrastructure and provides three key benefits:
- Simplified threat detection and elimination using best-in-breed technologies combined with the expertise of the security specialists at the Syntax SOC
- Optimum security efficiency with Alert Mapping within the MITRE Adversarial Tactics, Techniques and Common Knowledge (ATT&CK™) Framework
- Reinforcement of other elements of this pillar to block malicious activities before they even attempt to connect
2. Perimeter Security
This pillar is designed to create a Zero Trust Network Architecture (ZTNA) – an encrypted end-to-end secure tunnel, for secure user access to all your on-premises, SaaS and web applications that allows you to:
- Eliminate lateral movement possibilities from connection through application thus minimizing exposure by shrinking your attack surface, including to internal risks.
- Allow the ability to scale Zero Trust effortlessly, by protecting critical applications or highest risk user groups first, then expanding internet-native ZTNA to your entire operation.
- Foster a stronger employee experience by allowing teams to securely communicate and collaborate while facing fewer security gateways that might get in their way.
3. Vulnerability assessment and management
This third pillar of Syntax’s cybersecurity services is designed to address potential risks that might target your operating system layer. For this pillar, Syntax integrates the continuous and always-on industry-leading technologies so you can get service delivery that is highly customized to accommodate your constantly evolving IT environment to support:
- Near real-time response protocols that may include the most relevant superseding patch, quarantines covering your priority systems, servers, assets and/or files, uninstalling software, killing any process or network connections, and much more.
- Automated and integrated gathering and analysis of IT, security, and compliance data in a scalable, state-of-the-art backend.
- Customizable surveillance capabilities via Elasticsearch clusters, enabling visibility within seconds of any asset, including on-premises, endpoint, and cloud assets.
4. SIEM/SOAR
Consolidated SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) functions form the fourth pillar of our security posture. These manage all security information and present forensic data when security events occur. You can also generate individually customised reports tied to your business metrics and KPIs covering a range of vital activities:
- Detailed analyses in SIEM format of data from devices, nodes, endpoints, event logs and other relevant sources, to provide a systematic, consolidated overview
- Use of SOAR elements to bring together and analyse input from across the entire threat landscape using ML (machine learning) models
- Automation of routine administrative tasks allowing the Syntax SOC team to concentrated on higher-level analyses, ensuring that new, particularly sophisticated threats are not overlooked
Syntax Security Operations Center
The cost of cyber crime to the global economy is in the billions. Your staff and your IT are increasingly and more tightly connected than ever. And hackers can now use generative AI (genAI) to launch increasingly sophisticated attacks. Now is exactly the right time to start shoring up your defences in the war on cyber crime.
No matter how much you have already invested in your cyber defences, the Syntax Security Operations Center can efficiently support your security personnel with 24/7/365 back-up, building your security concept on the four strong pillars described above.
Seamless collaboration
The idea behind the Syntax Security Operations Center is simple, yet effective: qualified, experienced security professionals working shoulder-to-shoulder with your security teams.
The objective is to stand in the way of the cyber criminals who never stop looking for ways to get into your business’ critical systems and data, and block their attempts to break down your defences across multiple levels.
Nothing beats a made-to-measure solution
The Syntax Security Operations Center is built to provide you with exactly the level of resources you need to ensure your business continuity.
Whether threat detection, vulnerability analysis or disaster recovery, the services delivered through the Syntax Security Operations Center will be tailored precisely to your requirements.
Recommendation #1: determine your requirements

Zero Trust and SASE: Forget black magic, it’s simply more secure
Zero Trust (ZT) might often be presented as black magic that only a small cabal of initiated people understand. It’s not! In principal, the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) is all about bringing together many complex control mechanisms to create a single working solution. Seamlessly. And it starts with your ERP.

The 4 Pillars of Security Structure
A robust cyber security strategy relies on four main pillars: endpoint protection, perimeter security, vulnerability assessment & management, and security information and event management (SIEM). These core services are managed by our Security Operations Center (SOC) and form the strategic foundation for business continuity and disaster recovery. Our experts ensure that your critical IT processes continue to run smoothly even during security incidents, natural disasters, or other disruptions.
Cyber Security Assessment
All of our security services are managed and monitored 24/7, 365 days a year, by the Syntax-operated SOC. The Syntax SOC aggregates various information streams to create a comprehensive picture of the current threat landscape. Our cyber security experts continuously oversee the entire IT infrastructure of our clients and promptly initiate countermeasures in the event of attacks or other critical incidents.
