A ten-fold increase in customers in the space of a year has led Red Helix, a market leader in cybersecurity and network performance, to invest £1 million in expanding the capacity of its UK-based 24/7 security operations centre (SOC), increasing headcount by 150%. The company expects its SOC team to grow further in 2025, as demand for its specialised cyberservices continues to soar.
Despite the global cyberskills shortage, Red Helix has been successful in recruiting and retaining SOC analysts who understand real-world security in small and medium companies. The investment has been dedicated to creating innovative workspaces to support this talent, building a first-class team and deploying an integrated suite of tools to ensure Red Helix can continue delivering industry-leading cybersecurity services tailored to the unique needs of SMEs.
Red Helix’s round-the-clock SOC coverage has brought enterprise-level security to the SMBs that often lack the in-house skills to integrate and manage the security platforms they need.
