Case Study: South Carolina Public Charter School District achieves improved network visibility and reduced breach risk with Cygilant

South Carolina Public Charter School District Selects Cygilant for Cyber Defense Program

The South Carolina Public Charter School District (SCPCSD), which oversees 32 schools and roughly 42,000 student records, faced the challenge of confidently reducing the risk of data breaches and gaining reliable, continuous monitoring of its IT environment. SCPCSD selected Cygilant and its SOCVue® Security Monitoring service to provide 24/7/365 visibility, log management, and threat detection across its networks.

Cygilant deployed SOCVue to aggregate, correlate and analyze the district’s network, host, application and security logs while providing a staffed SOC that detects threats in real time and offers remediation guidance. The engagement delivered measurable impact — replacing more than five hours per week of manual monitoring of ~800 app and IP logs, improving network visibility and security posture, enabling proactive blocking of suspicious IP activity, and materially reducing the district’s risk of data breaches in a cost-effective manner.
