Detect and prevent threats with Excellium Services S.A. and IBM Security QRadar SIEM
Better security. Better results. Excellium and IBM, the winning choice.
Shortage of staff to combat cyberattacks
The combined relentlessness of cyberthreats and lack of skilled workers have changed the relationship between organizations needing security services and those providing them. With internal IT security teams overwhelmed, small to midsize businesses (SMBs) and even larger companies look to managed service providers for intelligent security solutions to help protect their digital assets. In effect, the responsibility of managing, detecting and mitigating threats is becoming a collaborative effort.
Therefore, when Excellium Services launched its cyber Security Operations Center (EyeGuard Cyber SOC), in 2013, it filled an urgent need for cost-effective and scalable security services.
Built on IBM QRadar, the next-gen Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) technology, the EyeGuard platform combined with Excellium expertise allows organization to monitor their critical assets in real time so they can detect and respond to malicious activity quickly and efficiently.

"Data breaches happen on a regular basis, and lack of resources is a real issue", explains Christophe Bianco, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Excellium. "So the trend in cybersecurity is that customers are looking for partners, more than just resellers of technology. Customers are saying, 'I need you to complement my operation, to be an extension of my IT operational security team in the context of a resilience need'".
But the lack of skilled specialists isn't just a challenge for Excellium customers; Excellium itself also felt the staffing pinch. Since launching its EyeGuard Cyber SOC Services, the company has grown from six to more than 170 employees. Already a trusted provider for more than 180 organizations, its customer base is growing rapidly while Excellium expands into new markets and regions.
"Because there are more regulations and digitalization, the need for security is huge", says Bianco. "But resources are scare. For us to manage and deliver more services to customers, we needed to increase our efficiency and the productivity of the people in our CSOC department. And to sustain our growth, we needed to develop our capabilities and transform emerging technology into a service for our customers."
When evaluating modern SIEM solutions, look for opportunities to empower your security team and maximize the resources you do have. Here we tackle the top six myths about SIEM and investigate what you should expect from a SIEM today.
