IT-Total strengthens cybersecurity for the SMB market

IT-Total launches SOC 360 – advanced cybersecurity for small and medium-sized businesses

Cyber threats against Swedish companies is increasing rapidly. According to a report from Check Point Software, the number of attacks against Swedish businesses increased by 22 percent in the second quarter of 2025, compared to the same period the previous year. Despite the growing threat landscape, many small and medium-sized businesses lack the resources and expertise to build a comprehensive security organization.

To meet this need, we are launching IT Total Now SOC 360, a new security service that enables the SMB segment to benefit from the same level of protection previously only available to larger enterprises. SOC 360 offers a full-scale Security Operations Center (SOC) with real-time monitoring, analysis and management of security threats – built on Microsoft's infrastructure.

– The idea when we developed the service was to help smaller companies consume SOC in a cost-effective way. Many small companies do not have the money or resources to have a specialized cybersecurity team. By combining our monitoring service with the infrastructure customers already use via Microsoft Business Premium or Defender Suite we have been able to create complete protection, says Diego López, Head of Cyber Security at IT-Total.

Advanced security available to everyone

SOC 360 builds on Microsoft's existing security technologies and integrates them with IT-Total's platform. By connecting data flows from customers' Microsoft environments with IT Totals Central monitoring allows security experts to correlate events in real time and identify potential attacks before they take hold.

The service includes, among other things:

• 24/7 monitoring and incident management
• Proactive threat analysis and reporting
• Automated security measures via Microsoft Defender
• Direct access to IT-Total's cybersecurity team in the event of critical incidents

The result is a enterprise-level security solution, but tailored and priced for small and medium-sized businesses.

– At IT-Total, we strive for all of Sweden to become more IT secure. Being able to offer a SOC service that really makes a difference for smaller businesses feels like an important step in that direction, continues Diego López.

A step towards a more resilient Sweden

With SOC 360, IT-Total wants to lower the threshold for smaller organizations to take cybersecurity seriously. By utilizing existing licenses in Microsoft Business Premium, customers get a flexible and economically sustainable solution without the need for heavy investments in new infrastructure.

In addition, IT Total Integrate SOC 360 with your existing IT environment, whether on-premises, cloud-based or hybrid, enabling businesses of all sizes to achieve a high level of security without compromising ease of use or operational efficiency.

SOC 360 is also designed to meet the requirements of upcoming regulations such as NIS2 and Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) – laws that will also affect smaller players within the Swedish business.
