Case Study: Mount Wachusett Community College achieves 24/7 proactive security monitoring and centralized log management with Cygilant SOCVue

Mount Wachusett Community College Relies Upon Cygilant for More Effective IT Security Monitoring and Log Management

Mount Wachusett Community College (MWCC) faced insufficient server security and no centralized log management across its multi-campus IT environment, forcing staff to manually review logs and leaving the college exposed to growing malware and ransomware threats. After an assessment, MWCC chose Cygilant’s SOCVue Security Monitoring to meet its security goals and budget while improving breach prevention.

Cygilant implemented SOCVue Security Monitoring and the SOCVue Portal—going live in about two hours—and now provides 24/7/365 monitoring, SIEM-driven log management, and hands-on SOC support. As a result, MWCC gained centralized, real-time visibility into its network, proactive remediation guidance, reduced time spent on manual log reviews, and continuous protection from Cygilant’s security team (service operational since late 2014).
