Cyber threats are evolving fast and Irish organisations need to keep pace. Traditional tools like antivirus and firewalls are still critical, but they no longer provide full protection. To truly reduce cyber risk and meet cybersecurity legislation requirements, 24/7 threat monitoring for Irish organisations is quickly becoming essential.
What is 24/7 Threat Monitoring?
24/7 threat monitoring, often delivered via a Managed Security Operations Centre (SOC), gives Irish organisations continuous visibility into suspicious activity across endpoints, networks, and cloud environments. It enhances early detection, minimises attacker dwell time, and provides expert-led incident response.
Why Irish Organisations Need It
Most breaches occur despite having antivirus and firewalls in place. NIS2 brings a renewed focus on detection and response — requiring organisations to be proactive, not just reactive.
With 24/7 threat monitoring, you gain:
- Faster breach detection.
- Expert incident response support.
- Operational resilience.
- Improved NIS2 alignment.
This is especially relevant for Irish businesses operating in healthcare, education, energy, transport, public services, or digital infrastructure.
How It Works with Your Existing Tools
A Managed SOC complements your current security tools, it doesn’t replace them. Whether you’re using endpoint protection, Microsoft 365, firewalls, or patching tools, 24/7 monitoring adds critical threat intelligence and real-time analysis.
Examples include:
- Microsoft 365: Monitors for suspicious logins or privilege misuse.
- Firewalls: Analyses traffic patterns and threat reputation.
- Endpoint Protection: Detects threats antivirus alone may miss.
- Patching Tools: Monitors for exploitation attempts on known vulnerabilities.
Who Benefits?
Organisations that benefit from 24/7 threat monitoring include:
- Hospitals and healthcare providers managing sensitive data.
- Schools and universities balancing access with risk.
- Public and semi-state bodies preparing for NIS2 obligations.
- SMBs lacking internal cyber teams but facing high threat levels.
Next Steps
If your organisation is reviewing cyber resilience or preparing for NIS2, now is the time to consider 24/7 threat monitoring.
