Case Study: Melbourne Cricket Club achieves 24/7 security monitoring and stronger cyber resilience with NCC Group MXDR

Securing the Iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground with NCC Group's Managed Security

Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC), which manages the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, needed a more robust security approach to protect member data, maintain board confidence, and support round-the-clock monitoring. Its on-premises SIEM setup lacked 24/7 SOC coverage, leaving gaps in incident response and cyber risk mitigation. NCC Group provided a managed security service, specifically its Managed Extended Detection and Response (MXDR) solution, to address these challenges.

NCC Group implemented MXDR with continuous monitoring, threat detection, compliance management, automation, reporting, and incident handling, integrated with MCC’s existing systems. Since October 2021, NCC Group has delivered 99.9% system availability, improved MCC’s security posture, and helped minimize cyber risk while giving the club confidence that critical IT assets and data are protected.
