Data#3 launches Australian-based security operations centre powered by global cyber security provider, SecurityHQ
July 11, 2024; Brisbane, Australia: Leading Australian technology services and solutions provider, Data#3, is proud to announce the ribbon-cutting and launch event of a new state-of-the-art Security Operations Centre (SOC) located at the Data#3 Head Office based in Brisbane.
This new service is powered by SecurityHQ, an esteemed global cyber security company and a renowned international SOC provider, exemplifying the pinnacle of cyber security excellence. Together, SecurityHQ and Data#3 demonstrate a joint commitment to delivering unparalleled security solutions that meet the highest standards of data protection and sovereignty.
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 towards alleviating the burden on IT teams. It allows them to focus on transformation projects and shaping their digital future."
Richard Dornhart, National Security Practice Manager at Data#3, added: "Organisations today must balance limited resources with the relentless pace of market disruption. Our Managed SOC services represent a competitive advantage for our customers, driving digital transformation without distractions. We see this as an opportunity to help our customers improve service delivery, increase agility, and extend service coverage, all while significantly reducing ICT risk.”
“The unveiling of the new next-generation SOC is a testament to the strong partnership between SecurityHQ and Data#3, and underscores each of our commitment to serving as an extension of our Australian and Queensland customers’ IT and Security teams. Together, we help provide the essential elements these teams need to protect their organisations – time and insights. SecurityHQ already provides a 62% lower noise-to-signal ratio than leading competitors, and this further investment will only help to increase this gap in the region,” said Feras Tappuni, CEO at SecurityHQ.
“The presence of SecurityHQ representatives at this momentous occasion underscores the importance of this collaboration to provide a service that meets the specific needs of Australian businesses. We are excited to open this SOC and bring such a valuable service to Queensland and Australia," concluded Dornhart.
