Global Cybersecurity Solutions: Inside SOCWISE's Business Development

Lesku Gergely

The business development team plays a key role in SOCWISE's global expansion, connecting markets with IT security solutions and fostering innovation in managed services.

The business development team was formed as part of the InfoSec division under the leadership of Gergely Lesku since 2020. Its primary mission is to explore international markets and address IT security requirements, particularly in managed security services, with a strong focus on the DACH region.

Recognizing the growing demand for service-based solutions, EURO ONE took a major step forward in 2018 by establishing its own SOC center. At the same time, the management of the division identified the necessity of establishing a specialized organization capable of competing effectively in the international market, leading to the creation of SOCWISE Kft. in Hungary and SOCWISE International GmbH in Germany. These subsidiaries, established as part of the cybersecurity division's natural evolution, ensure seamless collaboration between the parent company’s project-based and service-oriented teams.

SOCWISE specializes in managed security services (SOC-as-a-Service), offering a comprehensive portfolio that includes SIEM and SOAR platform management, security engineering, SOC consulting, and cybersecurity defense advisory. Over the years, the division has successfully developed and supported more than 40 security operations centers.

While headquartered in Hungary, SOCWISE has expanded its international footprint through its German subsidiary. The German office focuses on business development and client engagement, while the Budapest headquarters manages core security operations and service delivery.

Looking ahead, the division aims to deepen its service-driven approach by incorporating greater automation and artificial intelligence to enhance cybersecurity processes.
