Augusta University’s Security Operations Center is known officially as SIEGE CyberOps. SIEGE CyberOps is the home of AU’s cyber defense team that protects AU and AU Health by monitoring, detecting, analyzing, investigating, and responding to cyber threats. SIEGE CyberOps opened in October 2020 at the Georgia Cyber Center (GCC) in Augusta, Georgia as the operational tenant within the GCC’s ecosystem of industry, academic, government and military partners.
The SOC is the command center of our organization. Our job is to continuously monitor and improve our security capabilities while preventing, detecting, analyzing and responding to all cyber-threats to AU and AU Health.
