CAUDIT Cloud Managed SOC
24×7 sovereign security operations for universities and research institutions across the CAUDIT community. Expert Australian analysts monitor your environment around the clock, helping you detect threats earlier and respond faster.
Security operations built for education and research.
Universities and research institutions face constant cyber threats while managing complex environments that support teaching, research and collaboration. Most internal teams cannot monitor activity around the clock, and growing alert volumes make it harder to focus on the issues that matter most.
- Cyber threats operate around the clock, not just during business hours
- Security teams face growing alert volumes and operational pressure
- Complex research and academic environments increase attack surfaces
- Compliance and governance expectations continue to rise across the sector

Managed SOC FAQs
What is a managed SOC?
A managed SOC provides continuous monitoring, investigation and response to cyber threats on your behalf. As a managed SOC service provider, we operate 24×7 security monitoring using Australian-based analysts, supported by AI-driven triage and government-grade threat intelligence.
What does SOC monitoring as a service include?
SOC monitoring as a service includes real-time alert monitoring, investigation, triage, escalation and guided response. We filter noise, prioritise real threats and escalate only what requires action, reducing operational load on your internal team.
How quickly does your SOC respond to incidents?
Our managed SOC delivers a 3-minute mean time to respond (MTTR) and a 7-minute mean time to contain (MTTC). AI-assisted triage combined with experienced Australian analysts enables fast investigation, escalation and containment of threats.
Is your managed SOC based in Australia?
Yes. Our managed SOC is 100% Australian-based and sovereign. All monitoring, investigation and response is delivered by onshore analysts, with no offshore processing, supporting data sovereignty, regulatory compliance and faster response times.
How does your managed SOC reduce alert fatigue?
Our managed SOC uses an AI-powered SOC Optimiser to reduce false positives and accelerate triage. Automated analysis filters low-value alerts so analysts focus on real threats, improving detection quality and reducing noise across your environment.
How does a managed SOC differ from MDR or managed XDR?
A managed SOC provides the operational foundation for security monitoring and response. MDR and managed XDR security services sit on top of the SOC, adding endpoint, identity and cloud detection capabilities. Our managed SOC integrates seamlessly with managed MDR, managed XDR and SIEM services as your security program matures.
