Security programmes fail between tools, teams, and vendors

Most organizations have security tools: a SIEM here, an EDR there, a WAF configured years ago and rarely reviewed. The problem is not a lack of technology. It is that no one owns the end-to-end security function: alerts go uninvestigated, patches lag by weeks, asset inventories are stale, and the configuration set up at launch has never been tuned against current traffic patterns.

  • SIEM alerts stack up faster than your team can triage them. Genuine incidents get lost in noise.
  • EDR agents are deployed on some endpoints but not all. Unmanaged devices are invisible to your detection stack.
  • Patches are applied inconsistently: Windows gets patched, third-party applications do not, and browsers are left to individuals.
  • Your WAF rules were configured at launch and have not been tuned since. Your traffic patterns, application logic, and threat landscape have all changed; your rules have not.
  • Asset inventory lives in a spreadsheet no one updates. Security tools are protecting a subset of what is actually in your environment.
  • Identity access reviews happen annually at best. Access permissions have accumulated and drifted since the last audit.

The consequence is a security posture that looks covered on paper (you have the tools) but has critical operational gaps that a determined attacker or a diligent auditor will find.

A continuous security function, not a collection of standalone tools

Maxima operates your security programme as a managed function, providing the people, process, and tooling integration that turns individual products into a coherent security operation. We work across two service areas: Managed Security Services (the operational security layer) and Akamai Solutions (web, application, and network protection).

FinServ proven

Security programmes designed and operated for banks, insurers, and asset managers.

Tool-agnostic

We integrate with your existing SIEM, endpoint, and cloud security tools.

Security practitioners with experience in regulated, high-stakes environments

Maxima's security engineers have designed and operated security programmes for enterprises in financial services, insurance and logistics: environments where a misconfigured control or an unpatched CVE has serious consequences. That standard defines how we work for every client.

We are a recognised Akamai partner. We integrate with your existing SIEM, cloud platforms, and endpoint tools. No rip-and-replace of your current stack is required to begin delivering value.

The organizations that engage Maxima for managed security

Enterprises running Akamai with no dedicated management resource

Your Akamai contract was set up by a systems integrator at launch. The configuration has not been touched since. Traffic patterns have changed, your application has evolved, and WAF rules that were accurate two years ago are now generating false positives or missing new attack patterns. Maxima takes over ongoing management and brings the configuration current.

Mid-market companies without a full-time SOC

You have a SIEM producing alerts, but no dedicated team to investigate them. Maxima's SOC analysts become that team: triaging, investigating, and escalating to your engineers with context, so your team responds to confirmed incidents, not raw alert volumes.

Organizations with endpoint coverage gaps

Your EDR is deployed on the endpoints you know about. Axonius-based asset discovery consistently surfaces devices, users, and applications that are operating outside your managed estate and therefore outside your security controls. Maxima closes those gaps as part of managed onboarding, then maintains full coverage ongoing.

Cloud-heavy organizations with CSPM drift

Cloud infrastructure moves fast. IAM roles accumulate permissions. Storage buckets get misconfigured. Security groups drift from policy. CSPM via Wiz catches these before they become incidents. Maxima drives the remediation, not just the report.

Regulated industries where audit gaps carry real consequences

Banks, insurers, and financial services organizations operating under CRD, GDPR, or equivalent frameworks need security controls that are not only in place but documented, tested, and evidenced. Maxima's approach to managed security is designed around the standard that regulated environments require.

What CISOs, CTOs, and security leads ask before engaging

What is a managed security service and what does it include?
A managed security service is an outsourced security function: a provider that continuously monitors, manages, and responds to threats across your environment so you do not need to build and staff every security capability in-house. Maxima's managed security programme covers four domains: Security Operations and Monitoring (24/7 SOC alert triage across Splunk, Wiz, and Google SecOps); Web and Application Protection (Akamai WAF management and DDoS mitigation); Endpoint and Vulnerability Management (EDR deployment, asset inventory via Axonius, and patch management); and Cloud Security Posture Management and IAM (continuous cloud misconfiguration detection and identity access governance).
What does Akamai managed security services cover?
Akamai managed services covers ongoing configuration, tuning, and management of the Akamai security and performance platform. This includes WAF rule management via Kona Site Defender (OWASP Top 10 protection, rate limiting, geo-blocking); always-on DDoS mitigation at the network layer via Prolexic; Zero Trust application access via Akamai Enterprise Application Access (EAA); origin protection and infrastructure masking via Siteshield; DNS protection and availability via FastDNS; and content delivery and performance optimisation via Akamai Ion. Configuration is reviewed and updated continuously.
What is cloud security posture management (CSPM) and why does it matter?
Cloud security posture management (CSPM) is the continuous monitoring and remediation of misconfigurations, policy violations, and compliance drift across cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP). According to IBM's Cost of a Data Breach Report 2024, misconfigured cloud infrastructure contributed to an average breach cost of $4.88M. Most cloud breaches are caused by overly permissive IAM roles, exposed storage buckets, and insecure service configurations that accumulate silently. Maxima operates CSPM tooling (Wiz) across your cloud environment: surfacing findings continuously, prioritised by exploitability, and driving remediation rather than producing raw scan reports.
How does 24/7 SOC monitoring work and what happens when an incident is detected?
Maxima operates a follow-the-sun SOC model across delivery centres in Krakow and Pune, providing continuous analyst coverage across time zones. Alerts from SIEM platforms are triaged by an active analyst at all hours with correlation, false positive filtering, and initial investigation before escalation. Escalation thresholds, response runbooks, and communication protocols are agreed during onboarding. For confirmed critical incidents, a senior analyst is engaged immediately. Monthly incident review sessions and trend reporting are included.
Do we have to replace our existing security tools to work with Maxima?
No. Maxima integrates with your existing SIEM, endpoint, and cloud security tooling: Splunk, CrowdStrike, Google SecOps, Microsoft Sentinel, and others. No migration to a proprietary toolset is required. Where additional tooling is introduced (such as Axonius for asset visibility or Wiz for CSPM), it integrates with your existing stack. The onboarding process maps your current tool coverage against the four service domains and identifies gaps to address.
What is the difference between vulnerability scanning and penetration testing?
Vulnerability scanning is a continuous, automated process that identifies known weaknesses: unpatched software, misconfigured services, exposed CVEs. Penetration testing is a point-in-time, human-led exercise that attempts to exploit vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world attack impact and discover logic flaws that automated scanners cannot find. Maxima's managed vulnerability programme runs continuous scanning, drives patch management, and coordinates remediation. Penetration testing engagements are supported as a complement, recommended annually.
Can we engage just one service domain rather than all four?
Yes. The four domains are available as part of a combined programme or scoped individually. Organizations already running Akamai who need ongoing management can engage Web and Application Protection independently. Organizations with a working SOC but gaps in cloud posture or identity governance can engage CSPM and IAM as a standalone scope. Contact us to discuss which domains match your current coverage gaps.
