The prestigious Forum for Incident Response and Security Teams recognizes Cuatroochenta’s cybersecurity unit as a center specialized in critical sectors. In addition, Darktrace awards Sofistic as “Service Provider of the Year”.

Sofistic's Security Operations Center (SOC) has achieved recognition as a member of FIRST, the world's leading Forum for Incident Response and Security Teams (known as CSIRT). In addition, Cuatroochenta's cybersecurity unit has received the "Service Provider of the Year" award from Darktrace, a world leader in cyber defense systems with artificial intelligence and continuous learning.

With a demanding incorporation process, the FIRST certification recognizes the quality of Sofistic's SOC as a security center specialized in critical sectors. The goal of the forum is to create a cooperative environment among the 650 audited teams worldwide to improve communication and access to tools and resources. From now on, Cuatroochenta's specialists will benefit from these advantages, thus perfecting their practices against cyber-attacks.

After a decade providing cybersecurity services to banks, airports (such as El Dorado in Bogota, the second busiest airport in Latin America), public entities and different industries, Sofistic's SOC auditors and consultants have the experience to configure themselves as a first level MDR ("management, detection and response") team. As main differential points, the support in artificial intelligence and automatic responses to avoid alert fatigue and 24/7 redundant service, with centers in Panama and Spain.

"Darktrace’s Services Provider of The Year Award"

Sofistic's team in Latin America received last Thursday October 20th, from the office in Panama through an online event, the "Service Provider of the Year" award from Darktrace, of which Cuatroochenta's cybersecurity unit has been a partner for 5 years. An award that, according to the North American company, "recognizes Sofistic's commitment with Darktrace and the amazing results achieved", with the "objective of supporting and further developing the relationship".

Darktrace offers Sofistic's customers an advanced threat detection system based on the identification of anomalies using artificial intelligence, which learns every detail of the company's environment to create a pattern of normal behavior, even allowing it to find threats that have never been reported, the so-called Oday.

«We are very grateful for the recognition from Darktrace, which reflects many years of working together to strengthen our customers' defense and as a key part of our SOC's effectiveness. It has been a spectacular journey since we introduced this disruptive technology in Panama in 2017 and our first banking customers began to trust us. Managing Darktrace for clients in 5 countries and having the opportunity to detect unknown threats early, today there is no longer much doubt about this technology as one of the most effective AI in the world for threat detection in network, cloud or industrial environments»
