Education Cybersecurity Solutions
Educational institutions need cybersecurity that protects student data and ensures uninterrupted learning without overwhelming limited IT resources. Our platform handles the complex security capabilities, delivered through partners who understand education operations.
Comprehensive Education Cybersecurity Platform
Educational institutions face significant cybersecurity challenges—they're attractive targets storing valuable student data while operating with constrained budgets and limited cybersecurity expertise. Schools must balance investing in learning and research with protecting against increasingly sophisticated threats.
You need enterprise-level security capabilities and expertise, but building that internally means taking resources away from education. Our platform gives you comprehensive security capabilities managed by experts, so you can focus on what matters most—student success and academic excellence. From protecting student records to securing campus networks, we deliver prevention, detection, response, and compliance management backed by 24/7 expertise—all through one platform, one agent.
Why Educational Institutions Need Specialized Cybersecurity
Educational institutions possess vast amounts of sensitive data—from student personally identifiable information and family records to financial information and academic research. Beyond data exposure, operational downtime directly impacts learning outcomes and puts student safety at risk, which cybercriminals exploit to pressure schools into difficult decisions.
Attractive targets with limited resources
Educational institutions are ideal targets for cybercriminals because they store valuable student data while operating with constrained budgets and limited cybersecurity expertise. Many schools lack dedicated IT security staff or resources to implement comprehensive protection. This resource constraint creates difficult choices between educational priorities and security investments.
Compliance complexity with high stakes
Schools must navigate complex privacy regulations including FERPA, which requires stringent protection of student education records and personally identifiable information. The US Department of Education has the authority to withhold federal funds from educational institutions that violate FERPA, making compliance failures financially devastating. Beyond federal requirements, schools must also manage state privacy laws and district-specific policies.
Third-party technology dependencies create vulnerabilities
Educational institutions depend on numerous technology vendors, learning management systems, and cloud services that process student data. When these vendors experience breaches, the impact cascades across multiple school districts, potentially exposing hundreds of thousands of student records. The interconnected nature of educational technology means that a single vendor compromise can affect everything from gradebooks to lunch programs.
