As highlighted by the 2024 Clusit Report*, cyberattacks in Italy increased by approximately 65% in 2023 compared to 2022. This figure is significantly higher than the 11% global increase (compared to 3.4% in 2021 and 7.6% in 2022). The sectors most affected include Healthcare, Finance, and Manufacturing. This concerning scenario positions Italy as a prime target for cybercriminals. It is therefore essential for businesses to invest in security to detect and analyze threats, both in terms of prevention and incident response.

To address these challenges, S2E offers its clients the Security Operation Center (SOC), a service that enhances a company's cybersecurity by transitioning from a reactive to a proactive approach. By leveraging the synergy between specialized expertise, processes, and specific technologies, we monitor, identify, and respond to cyber threats within the organization, ensuring structured governance of corporate infrastructures aimed at improving security, prevention, and response readiness to safeguard business continuity.
The SOC service is suitable for medium and large enterprises that must respond to the modern and evolving needs of their customers, resulting in increased complexity and variety within their IT infrastructures, regardless of the industry they operate in. The need to handle sensitive data, as well as participation in high-risk markets, requires organizations to equip themselves with appropriate tools to protect corporate information while also complying with increasingly stringent regulatory requirements.
The SOC allows for the timely identification of risks, threats, and vulnerabilities, reducing risk exposure and enabling prompt responses to incidents. Corporate management safeguards business continuity and mitigates reputational risks caused by data breaches and cyberattacks. Additionally, the CISO gains the skills and resources necessary to fulfill their role as the guarantor of the organization’s information security.
S2E’s SOC is tailored to the client's IT structures, as well as their current processes and technologies. Through our team of experts, we implement a structured and synergistic monitoring and response process, involving several levels of alert identification and analysis. This includes triage by security analysts and digital forensics experts for complex incidents, with the goal of analyzing, evaluating, and classifying alerts generated by the IT infrastructure in a centralized manner, determining their relevance and criticality. This allows the client to have real-time visibility of abnormal activities and trace their causes to identify vulnerabilities within the IT infrastructure. With S2E's SOC, the client can prevent cyberattacks through vulnerability analysis and respond swiftly to ongoing threats by identifying incidents in real time, knowing exactly which resources have been compromised, isolating the perimeter, and containing the impact.
Through an initial assessment aimed at understanding the resources within the scope and their governance and functional aspects, we provide a customized solution for implementing the service. This guarantees the protection of target resources, as well as the appropriate levels of service and intervention based on the importance and criticality of the resources we protect. After the implementation phase, we manage the SOC with a dedicated and continuously supportive team, ensuring that the company is safeguarded without requiring the involvement of organizational structures, except in cases of need and incident escalation. The service is provided under an annual subscription model.
S2E’s SOC offers a tailored solution for proactively addressing cyber threats. With advanced technologies, specialized expertise, and structured processes, we protect IT infrastructures in real time. Our experience in continuous monitoring allows us to detect and respond promptly to any abnormal activities, preventing potential damages before they escalate into real attacks. Moreover, our focus on awareness and continuous training enhances the organization’s security posture, reducing human-related risks. With S2E, clients can rely on a partner that not only manages threats but also actively supports prevention and training for a holistic and up-to-date approach to security.
