Ardent MSOC

Imagine this: A mid-sized enterprise in the Philippines has just upgraded its digital infrastructure, including cloud apps, remote endpoints, a hybrid data center, and IoT sensors. Their IT team is confident: firewalls are in place, patches are applied, and endpoint agents are deployed.

But one morning, the CISO receives a call: strange traffic is heading out from a server, unusual login attempts from overseas, and suspicious activity in their domain controller logs. An attacker has slipped past the firewall, initiated a reconnaissance scan, and is now preparing to exfiltrate data. The internal team scrambles but lacks unified visibility across cloud, network, endpoint, and threat-intel feeds. Their SIEM generates alerts, but the handoff to investigation is delayed, and the attacker is moving fast.

What this scenario highlights:

• Lack of end-to-end visibility: Network traffic, cloud logs, endpoint telemetry, and threat intelligence live in different silos. No unified view means things fall through the cracks.

• Slow human-driven response: Even when an alert is triggered, analysts must manually triage, invoke playbooks, and escalate; precious minutes are lost.

• External dependency or limited internal control: Some operations are outsourced, or tools are pieced together, which slows decision-making and weakens accountability.

• 24/7 threat environment: Attackers don’t rest. The enterprise needs continuous monitoring, investigation, and action, not just business-hours oversight.

Left unaddressed, the business risks data loss, regulatory fines, reputational damage and lengthy recovery costs.

Built on the advanced security architecture of Antarex, Ardent S.W.A.T. (Sweep All Threats) is Ardent Networks’ elite Managed Security Operations Center (MSOC) team, a response-first cybersecurity unit purpose-built to deliver proactive defense and decisive action against modern threats.

How it works:

• We integrate SIEM (Security Information & Event Management), XDR (Extended Detection & Response), VA (Vulnerability Assessment), and threat intelligence into one unified detection-and response engine.

• Custom-built automation playbooks trigger real-time actions, eliminating analyst delay and reducing dwell time to seconds.

• The entire MSOC is engineered, operated, and owned in-house by Ardent Networks (Philippines), giving full control, faster decision-making, and tighter alignment with your business.

• We operate 24/7: continuous monitoring, investigation, and incident response with precision and speed.

Faced with this type of threat, Ardent S.W.A.T. acts within moments, detecting the anomaly, validating the threat, isolating the compromised system, and launching automated containment and forensic measures. What once took hours now happens in seconds, ensuring threats are neutralized before they cause disruption.

Unified Detection & Response Platform

Seamless combination of SIEM + XDR + VA + threat-intelligence feeds, built for real-time correlation and rich context. The underlying Antarex platform offers “live threat intel, AIaugmented defence core” as part of its offering.

Real-Time Automated Playbooks

Customizable automation workflows instantly act to isolate systems, block attacks, and escalate incidents, eliminating delays and keeping threats under control.

In-House Engineering & Operations

Ardent Networks engineers design and run the MSOC themselves, not outsourced to a third-party, so you benefit from localised knowledge, faster decision-making, and full transparency.

24/7 Monitoring, Investigation & Response

Attackers never sleep; neither do we. Round-the-clock operations ensure threats are hunted, triaged and remediated around the clock.

Customizable for Your Business

Whether you’re a Philippine enterprise, government institution or channel partner, scanning, detection and response workflows can be tailored to your risk
profile and compliance needs.

Scalable & Multi-Tenant Ready

Because the Antarex architecture is built for scalability and partner delivery, Ardent S.W.A.T. can support multiple client domains, environment,s and increasingly
complex threat landscapes.

Proactive Threat Intelligence & Hunting

Leveraging home-grown honeypots, global feeds and continuous enrichment to detect and stop threats before they become breaches.

Philippine-based operations ensure compliance, faster support, and localized insight.

After onboarding Ardent S.W.A.T., the enterprise detected the reconnaissance scan, blocked the C2 (command-and-control) channel automatically, isolated the compromised server, conducted forensic analysis, and generated an incident report, all within a fraction of the time a manual process would have required. Result? Minimal disruption, no data exfiltration, regulatory compliance maintained and business continuity preserved.
