Columbia University has improved its security posture by implementing extensive logging and automation. This strategy has helped the university detect and mitigate cyberattacks, including recent hacktivist incidents and a state-sponsored breach in the early 2020s. The university's security team uses netflow logging to track attacker activity, identify vulnerabilities, and enhance incident response. Columbia's security team, led by Eric Baumgart, employs SumoLogic's Log Analytics Platform, Cloud SIEM, and compliance and audit products to manage and secure the university's infrastructure. The logging solutions have enabled the team to reduce the volume of security incidents and provide a unified resource for various university departments.
