Matic Šebjan Ogrizek, a graduate of Academia, achieved an outstanding 2nd place among the nominated graduates in Slovenia in the best diploma thesis competition of the Association of Higher Vocational Colleges of Slovenia.
His thesis, "The role of security operations centres in detecting, preventing and analysing cyber incidents in the Slovenian and European context", written under the mentorship of lecturer Dr Simon Žnidar and company mentor Marko Zavadlav, is among the most topical professional contributions in cyber security, NIS 2, SOC, SIEM and SOAR.
Matic demonstrated an in-depth understanding of modern security operations centres and clearly distinguished reactive monitoring from a mature, process- and technology-driven SOC. A particular strength of the work is a practical model operating protocol for a SOC addressing real organisational challenges – from 24/7 monitoring and orchestration to cooperation with national CSIRTs.
With this achievement he confirmed that Academia graduates not only follow trends but help shape them, with knowledge that is directly applicable in practice and comparable with the best European standards.
