Cegeka opens new Modern Security Operations Center (SOC) in the US

Cegeka, a leading IT company headquartered in Belgium, is expanding its global network of Security Operations Centers (SOCs) to the United States. The new Modern SOC will operate out of the headquarters of its subsidiary CTG in Buffalo, New York.

This expansion marks a major milestone in Cegeka’s growth and strengthens its ability to provide 24/7 protection against cyberattacks to customers in Europe and beyond. The new SOC is part of Cegeka’s growing Modern SOC network, which integrates advanced technology with human expertise to deliver next-level cybersecurity. 

“With this expansion, we can better support our international customers, no matter the time zone,” said Fabrice Wynants, Global VP Cybersecurity & Networking at Cegeka. “Our clients can rely on our 24/7 Managed Detection & Response services, held to the highest standards, wherever they are. This not only offers peace of mind, but also ensures compliance with local data security and privacy regulations.” 

Cegeka Modern SOC Network 

The new SOC in Buffalo joins Cegeka’s existing centers in Belgium and Romania, addressing the increasing demand for advanced cybersecurity services. Through its Managed Detection & Response offering, Cegeka helps organizations strengthen their defenses, especially at a time of growing regulatory pressure and a shortage of cybersecurity talent. 

“The cybersecurity landscape has changed dramatically,” Wynants added. “Attacks are becoming more complex. Our solutions help customers not only detect threats early, but also respond quickly and recover efficiently. With our Security Observability Dashboard, we give businesses clear insights into their security posture and help boost their cyber resilience. Cybersecurity is no longer just a cost—it’s a strategic asset.” 

From cybersecurity to cyber resilience 

Cegeka Modern SOC stands apart from traditional SOCs by combining expert analysts with automated processes and detection tools. This results in more effective threat detection, faster response times, and improved recovery. Cegeka also supports organizations in making the critical shift from traditional cybersecurity to full-scale cyber resilience. 

“Prevention alone isn’t enough anymore,” said Bart Watteeuw, Executive Vice President Services & Solutions at Cegeka. “In today’s threat environment, it’s not a matter of if an attack will happen, but when. Our solutions equip organizations with the tools and services to detect, respond, and recover—quickly and effectively.” 

Ambitious, yet grounded 

“We’re ambitious as a group, but also realistic,” said CEO Stijn Bijnens. “Cyberattacks don’t respect borders, and neither do we. This move is a natural step in our international growth, while staying true to our European roots.”
