Cybersecurity
24/7 Managed Cybersecurity for Businesses Across Asia
Brocent's ISO-certified Security Operations Centre monitors, detects, and responds to threats across your entire IT environment around the clock — reducing mean time to detect from hours to minutes. Purpose-built for the regulatory and threat landscape of Greater China, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.
The Threat Landscape in Asia 2026
Asia is the fastest-growing target for cybercrime
Cyber threats against organisations in Asia-Pacific have accelerated dramatically. Ransomware groups have shifted focus to Greater China, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia — attracted by rapid digitalisation, cross-border data flows, and a growing gap between IT investment and security maturity.
The regulatory landscape has simultaneously intensified. China's PIPL, Hong Kong's PDPO amendments, Japan's APPI revisions, and Singapore's PDPA all impose significant breach notification and data governance obligations — with penalties reaching 5% of global annual revenue under some regimes.
Most mid-sized businesses lack the in-house security talent, tools, and processes to respond to this threat environment. Brocent's managed cybersecurity service closes that gap — providing enterprise-grade security operations at a predictable monthly cost.

Our Solution
A complete cybersecurity practice — not just tools
Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
Our ISO-certified SOC monitors 24/7, combining automated detection with human analyst expertise. Mean time to detect (MTTD) reduced from hours to minutes. Clients in Greater China benefit from our deep knowledge of PIPL and cross-border data transfer rules.
Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR)
Next-generation EDR agents deployed and managed across all Windows, Mac, and mobile devices. Automated threat containment isolates compromised endpoints within seconds — before lateral movement can occur.
Managed Email Security
Advanced AI-powered anti-phishing, business email compromise (BEC) protection, and email encryption deployed in front of Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. Blocks 99.9%+ of malicious email.
Firewall & Network Security
Next-generation firewall management with IPS/IDS, DNS filtering, and segmentation — managed and monitored 24/7. Fortinet, Cisco, and Palo Alto environments all supported.
Identity & Access Management
MFA deployment, conditional access policies, privileged access management (PAM), and zero-trust access controls. Credential-based attacks account for 80%+ of breaches — we close this gap.
Vulnerability Management
Continuous scanning with Qualys or Tenable to identify and prioritise vulnerabilities across your infrastructure. Automated patching workflows close known attack vectors before adversaries exploit them.
Dark Web Monitoring
24/7 scanning of dark web forums, paste sites, and breach databases for your corporate domain, email addresses, and credentials. Immediate alerts when your data is detected — before attackers use it.
Simulated Phishing & Awareness Training
Quarterly phishing simulations combined with targeted awareness training programmes. Measurably reduce your human-layer risk — the most exploited attack vector in Asia.
How It Works
Our 24/7 SOC Workflow
From raw telemetry to confirmed containment in under 30 minutes. Every alert is reviewed by a certified human analyst — not just automated rules.
Ingest & Normalise
All logs, events, and telemetry from endpoints, firewalls, cloud, and email are ingested into our SIEM platform (Microsoft Sentinel / Splunk) and normalised into a unified data model.
Correlate & Detect
Automated correlation rules, ML-based anomaly detection, and global threat intelligence feeds evaluate every event. Real threats are escalated; noise is suppressed.
Triage & Investigate
A certified SOC analyst reviews every high-severity alert, investigates the kill chain, and confirms whether the event is a genuine incident requiring action.
Contain & Respond
For confirmed threats: automated endpoint isolation, account lockdown, and firewall block are triggered immediately. Your IT team and designated contacts are notified.
Remediate & Report
Our engineers guide you through root-cause remediation. A full incident report with timeline, impact assessment, and improvement recommendations is delivered.
Average alert-to-containment time: Under 30 minutes for P1 threats — compared to an industry average of 197 days to identify a breach without managed SOC coverage.

Benefits & ROI
Why outsource to Brocent's SOC?
- Cost — An in-house SOC team of 4–6 analysts costs USD 600K–1M+ per year. Brocent's MDR service delivers equivalent coverage at a fraction of the cost.
- Speed — Our trained analysts and pre-built detection rules respond in under 15 minutes. Building this internally takes 12–18 months.
- Coverage — 24/7/365 analyst coverage — including public holidays across Asia's diverse calendars — without overtime costs or hiring risk.
- Compliance — Audit-ready log retention, incident reports, and compliance documentation aligned to ISO 27001, PIPL, PDPO, APPI, and PDPA.
- Asia expertise — Our analysts understand the local threat landscape, regulatory environment, and language nuances across Greater China, HK, Japan, and Singapore.
Real client result
Manufacturing firm, Greater China — ransomware contained in 11 minutes
A 400-seat manufacturing business in Shanghai experienced a ransomware infection that began encrypting files on a finance workstation at 02:14 AM on a Sunday. Brocent's SOC detected the anomalous file-write activity via EDR telemetry, automatically isolated the affected endpoint, and notified the client's IT manager — all within 11 minutes. The infection was contained to a single machine. Zero data was exfiltrated. The client was operational by 08:30 AM Monday with no data loss.

FAQ
Common questions
What is the difference between MDR and a traditional antivirus solution?
Traditional antivirus is signature-based and reactive — it only blocks known threats. MDR (Managed Detection & Response) combines advanced EDR technology with 24/7 human analyst oversight to detect unknown threats, investigate suspicious behaviour, and actively respond to incidents before damage occurs. MDR is the current standard of care for business cybersecurity.
How does Brocent's SOC handle incidents in China given the PIPL regulations?
Our China-based analysts understand PIPL (Personal Information Protection Law) in depth. All incident data is processed in-country where required, and our response procedures are designed to support your PIPL compliance obligations. We also advise on cross-border data transfer rules under PIPL when international investigation is needed.
What compliance frameworks does your security service support?
Our services are aligned with ISO/IEC 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF), CIS Controls, and the regional requirements of PDPO (Hong Kong), PIPL (China), APPI (Japan), and PDPA (Singapore). We can provide audit-ready logging and documentation for all of these frameworks.
How quickly can Brocent onboard a new cybersecurity client?
Typical onboarding takes 2–4 weeks, depending on your environment size. This includes an initial risk assessment, tool deployment, SIEM integration, and a 'baseline' period where our SOC learns the normal behaviour patterns of your environment to minimise false positives.
Do you offer penetration testing as part of your cybersecurity service?
Yes. Penetration testing is available as a standalone engagement or as an annual add-on to your managed security subscription. Our testers hold CREST, OSCP, and CEH certifications. We provide full findings reports with CVSS scores and a prioritised remediation roadmap.
What happens when a real threat is detected at 3 AM?
Our SOC is staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When a confirmed threat is identified, our analysts immediately trigger automated containment (endpoint isolation, account lockdown), then notify your designated contacts via phone and messaging platform. You will have a full incident timeline and status update before the morning.
