Falanx Cyber Update

·    Launch of Security Operations Centre

·    Agreement with ZeroDayLab

Falanx Group Limited, a security and risk management consultancy working with blue chip and government clients worldwide, is pleased to report an update on its Cyber operations.

The Group's Security Operations Centre (SOC) is now fully operational from its Reading base. It was developed with Falanx's partner Assuria Limited and meets all UK Government recommended standards.

The SOC will provide a platform for the Group's Protective Monitoring solution, which is designed specifically to secure computer networks at the boundary and across data sources. The solution provides management and analysis of data and the provision of helpdesk services to continuously protect both legacy and cloud computing networks and systems from hostile attack, unauthorised data access, data theft, malicious damage, failure of process or technology, and human error.

In addition, the Group has agreed a Value Added Reseller (VAR) contract with ZeroDayLab, a leading provider of cyber security solutions. ZeroDayLab estimates that this agreement will attract orders in the region of £500k over the coming year.

Following on from the contract with CERT UK, the UK Government's Cyber Watchdog and joint venture with Principia Underwriting, Falanx Assuria has also commenced technical evaluation with several system integrators to deliver its Protective Monitoring service across their client base and projects.

John Blamire, CEO of Falanx Group, commented:

"We are pleased with the progress we have made towards becoming a major player in the Cyber Defence field over the last six months. Interest in our new service has continued to mount and we are optimistic about our future as a significant global provider of advanced Cyber Defence solutions.

"We are very proud to be associated with organisations such as Principia Underwriting and ZeroDayLab, who share our ambition to change the Cyber Security landscape for the benefit of the UK and our global clients."

Kevin Roberts, Managing Director of ZeroDayLab commented:

"We're delighted to be partnering with Falanx Assuria for our Next Generation SOC service providing 360 degree Threat Intelligence.  An effective SOC is a vital component of an effective security strategy and this collaboration enables us to deliver a world-class SOC service for our clients which combined with our market-leading security consulting services, will deliver an unrivalled, comprehensive approach to security strategy that is needed in today's constantly changing threat environment."
