Macquarie Cloud Services, part of Macquarie Technology Group, has launched the Macquarie Cloud Services SOC for Australasian universities and research institutions.
The move compliments the company's CAUDIT Cloud capability rolled out last year, a purpose-built cloud solution for research and education designed in collaboration with CAUDIT, a body for ICT in the higher education and research sectors across Australasia.
The new SOC has been purpose-built for the higher education and research sector and will provide sovereign, onshore, 24x7x365 support by government data-cleared engineers with a focus on major threats facing higher education institutions.
The Macquarie Cloud Services SOC will be available to access and procure through CAUDIT, with CAUDIT members also able to access zero-cost migration in less than one month and a hold on managed service fees until after the October deadline has passed.
“Australia’s third-level institutions deal with a range of threats, from malicious or accidental insider breaches to nation states looking to compromise one of our top export industries or researchers supporting healthcare, defence, and other critical industries,” said Karl Napper, head of CAUDIT Cloud at Macquarie Cloud Services.
“Universities need to migrate given the October deadline, but there’s an opportunity in that to take stock of their environments and consider what legacy systems they can upgrade, move to more modern security frameworks such as Zero Trust, and ultimately raise the security posture of an entire industry that matters so much to the economy.”
