This unique, integrated approach — rarely offered in the market — removes silos, accelerates detection and response, and gives organisations a single accountable team to manage, protect, and respond across their entire technology estate with confidence.
Vectra SONAR is a fully integrated operations capability that unifies IT operations, network operations, security operations, support desk, and incident response into a single, coordinated service. Delivered 24×7 by Vectra, a leading provider, SONAR provides one accountable team responsible for the availability, security, and resilience of your entire technology environment.
Unlike traditional SOC or MDR services, SONAR operates as an extension of your internal team — combining proactive monitoring, rapid response, and operational ownership across endpoint, identity, cloud, network, and applications. The result is fewer handoffs, faster decisions, and outcomes you can rely on.
Most organisations operate with fragmented teams and tools — IT, network, security, and support all working in isolation. This creates blind spots, slows response, and leads to confusion during incidents, when speed and clarity matter most.
Traditional SOCs generate alerts but don’t own outcomes. IT teams manage systems but lack full threat context. Incident response is often reactive and disconnected.
SONAR removes these silos by design, bringing operational and security responsibilities together under a single operating model with clear accountability from detection through to resolution.
SONAR is different because it is not just a SOC, MDR, or support desk — it is all of them, integrated into one service.
Very few providers offer this level of end-to-end operational coverage.
SONAR delivers:
This integrated approach enables faster detection, coordinated response, and confident decision-making when it matters most.
With SONAR, organisations achieve measurable improvements in both security and operations:
SONAR allows your teams to focus on the business, knowing your technology environment is continuously monitored, protected, and supported by a single, integrated operations partner.
