Industry Solutions
Protect student data, secure research assets, and defend campus networks against the growing wave of education-sector cyber threats.
Overview
Educational institutions are increasingly attractive targets for cybercriminals due to vast repositories of personal information, valuable research data, and often underfunded IT security teams. From kindergartens to universities, the education sector experienced an 80% increase in ransomware attacks, with the average recovery cost exceeding $1.42 million.
Key Challenges
Institutions manage vast amounts of PII including Social Security numbers, financial aid data, grades, and health records for students of all ages.
University research programs handle classified, funded, and proprietary research data that attracts nation-state and corporate espionage actors.
Campus networks must accommodate thousands of personal devices while maintaining security — creating a unique challenge for network segmentation.
Education IT budgets are often insufficient for enterprise-grade security, requiring creative solutions that maximize protection per dollar.
