Case Study: University of Bedfordshire achieves stronger security and eliminates false positives with LogPoint

How LogPoint is helping the University of Bedfordshire strengthen security and eliminate false positives

The University of Bedfordshire, which serves more than 14,000 students across multiple campuses, faced an increasingly complex and open network environment (BYOD, public Wi‑Fi and ethical hacking courses) that outgrew its legacy monitoring tools. Needing to reduce false positives, meet regulatory obligations and detect breaches earlier, the university evaluated SIEM options and selected LogPoint’s SIEM solution to improve log correlation and authentication monitoring.

LogPoint implemented its SIEM (with SANS best‑practice guidance) in under a month, significantly reducing the team’s workload for correlating security logs and cutting false positives. The deployment gave the University of Bedfordshire actionable alerts on authentication issues (failed logins, concurrency, access‑time violations, excessive password failures), delivered impressive operational cost savings, and positioned the university to expand analytics for asset utilization and device/application profiling.
