Securing Tomorrow, Today: Matrix Solutions' Managed Cyber Security Services

Your Talent Extension in a Complex Threat Landscape

Australia’s cyber security skills shortage has made it harder for organisations to run effective security operations internally. Building and scaling an in-house SOC is expensive, time-consuming, and often unrealistic for teams that still need enterprise-grade coverage.

Matrix Solutions becomes an immediate talent extension of your team. Our 100% on-shore, Australian-based SOC analysts and security consultants provide deep technical expertise, consistent oversight, and clear accountability, integrating people, process, and technology into a managed security model that fits your operations.

Understanding Managed Disaster Recovery

What You Get With Managed Cyber Security Services

When you partner with Matrix Solutions, you get a managed service, not just tools. Your organisation receives:

  • 24/7/365 monitoring and alert triage from an Australian-based SOC
  • Managed Detection and Response (MDR) with analyst-led investigation and escalation
  • Threat hunting and behavioural analytics to detect suspicious activity that traditional tools can miss
  • Vulnerability management with prioritised remediation guidance aligned to business risk
  • Governance, risk, and compliance support mapped to Essential Eight, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 certification, and APRA CPS 234 expectations
  • Executive-ready reporting with clear insights for leadership, audits, and stakeholders

This is designed to reduce operational burden while improving visibility, response speed, and security maturity.

How We Deliver (So It’s Actually “Managed”)

We run managed security as an operating rhythm, so you always know what’s happening, what’s improved, and what needs attention.

  • Environment discovery and risk context (systems, users, cloud, endpoints)
  • Log and telemetry integration (SIEM/MDR sources aligned to your stack)
  • Alert tuning to reduce noise and improve signal quality
  • Baseline “normal” behaviour to enable meaningful detection
  • Go-live with escalation paths and reporting cadence confirmed
  • Continuous monitoring, triage, investigation, and escalation
  • Actionable remediation guidance for priority risks
  • Monthly security reporting (executive summary + operational insights)
  • Quarterly security reviews to track risk, maturity, and roadmap priorities
  • Rapid validation and escalation
  • Containment guidance and response coordination
  • Post-incident reporting with lessons learned and preventative actions
  • Key incidents and response outcomes (what happened, impact, actions taken)
  • Risk and vulnerability priorities (what to fix next and why)
  • Security posture trends (what is improving or deteriorating)
  • Compliance and maturity tracking (e.g., Essential Eight alignment where applicable)
  • Recommended next actions and roadmap priorities for the next 30–90 days

Our Managed Cyber Security Capabilities

Matrix Solutions delivers managed cyber security services designed to reduce risk, improve resilience, and support business growth. As an Australian-based MSSP, we provide 24/7/365 proactive protection, combining advanced threat detection with expert human oversight to help your organisation operate with confidence.

MDR / SOC
AI-Driven Threat Detection & Response

Traditional firewalls and signature-based tools often miss the subtle "footprints" of a zero-day exploit. Matrix Solutions moves beyond basic protection by using AI-driven behavioural analytics and machine learning.

We establish a baseline of 'normal' activity for your unique environment, allowing our analysts to hunt for silent intruders and anomalies. This proactive, intelligence-led approach means zero-day exploits, insider threats, and advanced persistent attacks get caught early, before they reach your systems.

01
PROACTIVE SECURITY
Continuous Vulnerability Management

Cyber threats never stop evolving, which is why your security posture cannot be static. We don’t just find gaps. We help you remediate them based on priority and business risk. Our continuous management can include:

  • Vulnerability Scanning & Prioritisation: Ongoing identification of exposures with clear remediation priorities.
  • Remediation Guidance & Coordination: Hands-on support to harden your environment and reduce risk quickly.
  • Optional Security Testing (as required): Penetration testing and breach/attack simulations to validate controls and uncover hidden weaknesses.
02
GRC
Regulatory Governance, Risk & Compliance

We help organisations turn compliance into a business advantage, not a checkbox exercise. Our experts specialise in:

By aligning security controls with regulatory requirements, we help you demonstrate maturity, reduce audit risk, and build stakeholder trust.

03
INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY
Identity, Cloud & Infrastructure Security

Secure access and infrastructure are foundational to modern cyber security. We design and manage secure environments across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid systems, enforcing multi-factor authentication, least-privilege access, and secure device controls so only the right people reach critical assets. Where needed, we add encryption and network segmentation to reduce the blast radius of an incident and keep sensitive data contained.

04
HUMAN & STRATEGIC SECURITY
People, Intelligence & Strategic Communication

Technology alone isn’t enough. We help build a culture of cyber awareness through training, intelligence-led insights, and clear communication strategies that keep stakeholders informed and prepared. In practice, this means practical awareness training for staff, threat intelligence woven into the monthly reporting cycle, and clear protocols so leadership knows what to say, and to whom, during an incident.

05

Protect Against Threats and Optimise Operations

Cybersecurity isn’t only about blocking attacks. A managed service should reduce operational load, improve visibility, and create repeatable security outcomes. Matrix Solutions provides end-to-end oversight across identity, data protection, monitoring, and resilience, either by managing your existing security stack or deploying and managing the right controls where gaps exist.

What we manage in practice includes:

  • Identity & Access Security We help enforce MFA, least-privilege access, and secure device controls (including MDM where required) to reduce account compromise risk and strengthen access governance.
  • Data Protection & Network Controls We improve data security through encryption, segmentation, and controlled access paths, reducing the blast radius of incidents and protecting sensitive information.
  • Security Monitoring & Investigation We centralise visibility through logging and monitoring (SIEM and behavioural analytics where appropriate), then run 24/7 triage, investigation, and escalation through our SOC.
  • Resilience & Recovery Readiness We support business continuity through regular testing and security validation (such as controlled attack simulations or penetration testing when required), paired with incident response coordination and disaster recovery readiness.

The result is a managed security posture that improves detection speed, reduces risk exposure, and gives leadership clear insight into what is happening and what is being improved.
