15 October 2026, Basingstoke, UK — Centerprise International and Elastic have delivered a modern Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and analytics platform as partners with the Ministry of Defence’s Defence Cyber Operations (DCO) programme.
The partnership brings together Elastic’s SIEM capability with Centerprise’s commercial delivery, support model, enablement, and governance, ensuring MOD cyber operators can use the platform effectively and at scale from day one.
The challenge
The MOD’s networks run 24/7 for thousands of users worldwide, handling large volumes of operational, intelligence and administrative traffic.
Traditional SIEM platforms have struggled to keep pace with the increasingly sophisticated nature of today’s cyber threats, creating visibility gaps and slowing down incident response. Without strong governance and enablement, even advanced tools risk falling short of their potential.
The solution
The programme equips DCO with a defence-ready SIEM capability that delivers unified visibility, streamlines operations, and accelerates detection and response. This includes:
- Proactive defence: Expanded visibility across MOD networks allows operators to identify and contain malicious activity at the earliest stage.
- Operational resilience: Simplified workflows and faster response help ensure cyber incidents do not disrupt military missions.
- Sustained value: Structured training, enablement, and oversight ensure the platform continues to adapt as threats evolve.
A tiered support model underpins the system’s resilience: Elastic provides advanced technical expertise, while Centerprise oversees orchestration, escalation, and governance to ensure effective delivery and long-term value.
Leadership perspectives
“Defence Cyber Operations deserves a platform that can grow with the scale and sophistication of the challenge. Together with Elastic, we are building that capability while ensuring the MOD has the support to use it effectively from day one. Our structured governance and enablement approach ensures the MOD achieves maximum value and long-term resilience from this platform,” said Mark Brady, Director of Defence and Security at Centerprise International.
