Cybersecurity Built for Education Organizations
Protect student records, defend against ransomware, and meet FERPA and CIPA requirements across K-12 and higher education.
Education Cybersecurity Challenges
Education organizations face a unique set of cyber threats and regulatory requirements. Here's what we see most.
Student Data & FERPA
Education institutions handle sensitive student records covered by FERPA. Data breaches expose institutions to regulatory risk and erode community trust.
Ransomware Epidemic
K-12 and higher education are the most targeted sectors for ransomware, often due to limited security staff and legacy systems.
BYOD & Open Networks
Campus networks must balance openness with security — a challenge that creates significant exposure when student and staff devices are unmanaged.
EdTech Vendor Risk
Learning management systems, SIS platforms, and third-party EdTech vendors often have access to student PII with minimal security oversight.
