Supporting the Education Industry

Are you implementing the right measures to keep research, private data, financial information, and student details secure?

From the potential financial gain of accessing student fees, the data theft of private information of employees, to accessing restricted research and risking national security, the education sector has a lot to lose in the event of an attack. With threats growing against the industry daily, investing in security measures to identify vulnerabilities, harden protection and safeguard assets has never been more crucial.

Limited Resources

There is a current shortage in professional IT skills. With fewer IT experts available, schools often face cyber threats alone. And with limited IT resources, they are unable to face threats effectively.

Remote Working

As students continue to study and attend classes online, the more unsecure networks and endpoints are used. Providing hackers with opportunities to infiltrate video calls and online discussions.

Lack of Awareness

The majority of students, teachers and leaders in the education sector are not trained in security protocols. Which opens organisations up to insider threats and third-party vulnerabilities.
