Our Cyber Solution

​NEC XON delivers complete cybersecurity protection across the full threat lifecycle, from prevention and detection to response and recovery. Our services combine continuous monitoring, advanced analytics, and rapid incident response to safeguard digital assets and business continuity.

We help clients predict, detect, and neutralise threats before they escalate. Through AI-driven intelligence, vulnerability management, and 24/7 SOC operations, NEC XON ensures visibility and control across hybrid, cloud, and on-premise environments.

With a foundation built on global expertise and adherence to standards such as ISO 27001 and NIST, NEC XON provides measurable resilience, regulatory compliance, and lasting digital trust for every organisation we protect.
Managed Detection & Response (MDR)
24/7 monitoring and automated threat remediation driven by AI analytics.
Our analysts continuously monitor your environment for indicators of compromise and respond within seconds using AI-driven automation — isolating systems, containing breaches, and maintaining uptime.
Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) ​
Continuously test your cyber readiness through real-world attack scenarios.
We emulate genuine adversary techniques to assess how your systems would respond. Insights from each simulation feed directly into your remediation plans — closing gaps before attackers find them.
Penetration Testing as a Service (PTaaS)
Identify and remediate vulnerabilities with on-demand testing.
Move beyond annual assessments with continuous, cloud-based penetration testing. Receive instant reports, prioritised vulnerabilities, and guided remediation to maintain compliance and security posture.
Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA / SASE)
Identity-based access for remote, mobile, and hybrid workforces.
Replace outdated VPNs with a Zero Trust framework that authenticates every user, device, and session — ensuring the right access, at the right time, from anywhere.
Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM)
Always-on visibility to prioritise and reduce cyber risks.
CTEM delivers continuous insight into your most exposed assets. Prioritise what matters, patch faster, and reduce risk across every digital surface.
Attack Surface Management (ASM)
Complete asset visibility across network and cloud environments.
Discover, classify, and monitor every internet-facing asset, even those you didn’t know existed. Proactively identify weaknesses before they’re exploited.
Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR)
Protect users and credentials from compromise and misuse.
Detect and respond to credential misuse, privilege escalation, and anomalous identity behaviour in real time. ITDR safeguards the human layer (your users), from phishing and credential theft.
Cybersecurity Advisory & Consulting
Align strategy and architecture to NIST, CIS, and ISO/IEC standards.
Our experts design cybersecurity strategies aligned to global frameworks. From compliance audits to architecture reviews, we help you build a mature, risk-resilient security posture.
