Supercharging Threat Detection and Automation: How a Global MSSP Strengthened Higher Education Security with Securonix ATS and SOAR
5 PagesA global MSSP serving higher education institutions modernized security operations by replacing a legacy SIEM that lacked scalability and cloud log ingestion and required heavy manual effort, including time-consuming IOC scans. The MSSP adopted Securonix Unified Defense SIEM for cloud-native scale and improved log ingestion and parsing, then added UEBA for anomaly detection, Autonomous Threat Sweeper for automated historical IOC sweeps, and SOAR to automate response workflows such as firewall blocklist updates. The change strengthened compliance reporting for FERPA, PCI DSS, and CMMC, improved threat hunting coverage, and reduced manual workload. Reported outcomes include identifying 10 to 15 high-priority threats weekly and saving over 10 hours per week on IOC scanning.
