Case Study: Fitchburg State University achieves proactive, enterprise-class security and compliance with Cygilant’s SOCVue Security Monitoring

Fitchburg State University Leverages Cygilant’s SOCVue Security Monitoring to Build a Comprehensive Security and Compliance Program

Fitchburg State University was executing a 5‑year security plan to meet PCI DSS, state regulations and industry best practices but lacked an effective security event management solution to provide alerts and holistic IT environment insight. To address this gap, the university selected Cygilant’s SOCVue Security Monitoring service.

Cygilant implemented SOCVue—delivering 24/7/365 monitoring, threat detection, analysis, remediation guidance and compliance auditing—with an on‑site rollout completed in about half a day. The service enabled Fitchburg State University’s two‑person IT security team to build an enterprise‑class, proactive security and compliance program, dramatically reduce time spent sifting logs, and achieve these outcomes at a fraction of the cost of alternate solutions (avoiding the expense of a full‑time SIEM hire).
