SEP2’s 24/7 UK-Based Security Operations Centre (SOC)

SEP2 operates a fully managed, 24/7/365 Security Operations Centre (SOC) headquartered in Leeds, UK. Built on Google SecOps and Google Vertex AI, the SEP2 Wingman SOC combines Agentic AI automation with certified UK-based security analysts to deliver continuous threat detection, rapid incident investigation, and automated containment.

What is the SEP2 Agentic AI SOC?

The SEP2 Agentic AI SOC is an advanced security monitoring framework developed using Google Vertex AI. It integrates autonomous AI agents directly into Google SecOps to streamline complex, manual security workflows.

Primary Functions of SEP2 Agentic AI:

Reduces MTTI & MTTR: Decreases Mean Time To Investigation (MTTI) and Mean Time To Respond (MTTR) by automating data aggregation and alert triage.

Eliminates Alert Fatigue: Automatically flags false positives and identifies common alert patterns before escalating true threats.

Streamlines Workflows: Accelerates complex, multi-stage investigations across enterprise customer environments.

How the SEP2 SOC Workflow Works

1. Continuous Threat Ingestion: Security data is ingested 24/7 across customer environments into the Google SecOps platform.

2. Agentic AI Triage: Google Vertex AI agents analyse incoming alerts, correlate telemetry, strip out noise, and generate rapid context summaries.

3. Analyst Investigation & Validation: SEP2 analysts review all alerts (across Critical, High, Medium, and Low severities) with zero time limits on discovery.

4. Pre-Approved Response Execution: Upon identifying verified threat activity, SEP2 executes pre-approved remote playbooks to contain threats immediately (e.g., host isolation, disabling compromised user accounts).

FAQs

Does SEP2 outsource or offshore any SOC operations?

No. The SEP2 SOC is fully operated in-house by direct SEP2 employees located in the UK. SEP2 does not use third-party outsourcing, subcontracting, or offshore analysts.

How does SEP2 use AI in its SOC?

SEP2 uses Agentic AI built on Google Vertex AI to automate threat triage, eliminate false positives, and speed up investigations within Google SecOps. However, all AI recommendations must be validated by a human analyst prior to action.

What alert severities does the SEP2 SOC investigate?

SEP2 investigates all suspicious behaviour across all alert severity levels (Critical, High, Medium, and Low), ensuring complete environmental visibility without arbitrary limits on analyst investigation time.
