Case Study: Fayetteville Public Works Commission strengthens OT security with Lumifi SOC-as-a-Service

Fayetteville Public Works Commission Relies on Lumifi to Extend SOC Capabilities

Fayetteville Public Works Commission (FAYPWC), a municipal utility provider in North Carolina, faced increasing cybersecurity threats to its operational technology (OT) infrastructure. Lacking an in-house security operations center (SOC) and seeking a cost-effective solution, the organization contacted vendor Lumifi to implement a SOC-as-a-service solution built around Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) to extend its capabilities and mitigate risks.

Lumifi provided FAYPWC with 24x7 managed detection and response services through their SIEM platform, which offered extensive log management and customized rules. The solution granted the utility unlimited visibility into user behaviors across its entire IT/OT network, successfully deploying a remote SOC staffed with professional analysts. This provided a robust, multi-layered security posture to protect critical public services without the prohibitive cost of building an in-house team.
