Case Study: Leading UK University strengthens cyber security with NCC Group MDR

Leading UK University - Customer Case Study

Leading UK University engaged NCC Group to strengthen its cyber security posture while supporting a large, complex environment of around 30,000 students across six faculties. The university needed assurance, monitoring, and detection across both on-premises and cloud systems, alongside urgent support for time-critical COVID-19 and WHO-related research initiatives.

NCC Group designed and progressively deployed a multi-layered managed detection and response solution, including MDR, SIEM, endpoint and network detection, and 24/7 SOC monitoring, plus rapid penetration testing and remediation for dedicated research infrastructure. As a result, the university’s cyber risk was clearly understood and reduced, its security team received more actionable alerts, and its research operations were better protected with 24/7 monitoring in place within three days for the urgent project.
