Case Study: UK Based University strengthens cyber incident response with DigitalXRAID’s managed SOC and Microsoft Sentinel

How a UK University extended its ability to respond proactively to cyber incidents with a managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) service and Microsoft Sentinel

A UK Based University needed to mature its threat monitoring and response capabilities, but wanted to avoid the cost and complexity of building an in-house SOC team and toolset. After a full tender process, it selected DigitalXRAID, with Microsoft Sentinel identified as the key product to enhance its managed Security Operations Centre (SOC) service and improve proactive cyber incident response.

DigitalXRAID is managing the transfer and implementation of Microsoft Sentinel as part of a refreshed SOC service, including a threat model workshop and new design document. The solution enables 24/7/365 monitoring, real-time visibility, faster remediation, and AI-powered threat intelligence, helping the University neutralize incidents within minutes while maintaining uninterrupted protection during migration.
