Case Study: Wellington College achieves automated real-time threat detection and remote threat neutralisation with LogRhythm’s NextGen SIEM Platform

Wellington College chooses LogRhythm’s NextGen SIEM Platform to improve threat detection

Wellington College, a prestigious day and boarding school in Berkshire with about 1,100 students and 600 staff, faced a rapidly evolving threat landscape that outpaced manual detection. With staff and students frequently working and connecting off campus, the IT team struggled to gain full visibility into internal and external network activity and needed an automated solution to identify and mitigate threats quickly.

After a competitive tender and partnership with Xitenys, the college deployed LogRhythm’s NextGen SIEM Platform for its advanced analytics, real‑time visibility, and unified dashboard. The platform correlates data from multiple sources (for example, firewall and WiFi logs) to pinpoint infected devices, improves remote threat detection and neutralisation, and streamlines reporting—giving the IT team faster, actionable insight into both internal and external threats.
