Zoracom, one of Nigeria’s foremost information technology (IT) firms, recently launched its Network and Security Operations Center (NSOC) in Lagos.
The facility ,described as world-class, is centred on providing cybersecurity solutions to public and private organisations in the country ranging from cyber monitoring to mitigation and training/capacity building.
Industry stakeholders at the event were impressed with the tremendous strides that Zoracom has made with this launch of the NSOC facility describing it as world-class.
John Nwachukwu chief innovative/executive officer of Zoracom, during the presentation, noted that the company prides itself of its ability to proffer and provide solutions to clients which is achieved in three different ways such as observability, cybersecurity and infrastructure.
“With the advent of the fourth industrial revolution, there are fast internet, internet of things (IoT) cloud computing and all that. There is a high need for organisations to protect themselves from threats that will come from exposure to internet. Organizations need to unify, automate with resilience and robustness and align with security best practice. Here if we can see it, we can monitor it, if we can monitor it, we can optimise it,” the Zoracom chief executive said.
He noted that Zoracom’s state of the art facility is a cornerstone to consolidate and protect organisations, emphasising that the company invested in the latest technology to ensure that it is one step ahead of cyber security criminals.
“Our NOC and SOC provide unified command, controlled communication, intelligent sharing and analysis capability to help physically and digitally protect key assets that support human life,” he added.
Nwachukwu further disclosed that the infrastructure will provide real time monitoring of events and protect all sorts of sensors that are interconnected to make life easier for organisations.
According to him, the company’s NSOC is well equipped with tools and resources that will be needed to monitor threats in real time, while also providing the people, technology and process to help organisations defend all things that happen within their network.
Nwachukwu Chukwuemeka, a top executive at Remitta Payments Services Limited, in his remarksh, said he’s delighted to witness where Zoracom has come to establish itself in the Nigerian market.
“It is a wonderful facility and a good job done properly. From what I have seen so far the human resource in this building is quite impressive,” Chukwuemeka said.
Solomon Omorodion, senior manager from IBM, during the inspection of the facility, said: “This facility is standard in terms of current network issues we have and the increase in cyber security threats. This facility is bringing a proactive approach to cyber security and this is zero tolerance. This facility is a good one.”
