Protecting Educational Organisations

Educational organisations increasingly use digital resources for their educational programs, and it becomes crucial to provide secure and safe access to information.

The cyber threat profile of schools and universities has changed dramatically. These days, these organisations need to deploy proactive detection and response measures to safeguard their staff students and research and protect their reputation.

Education Sector Cyber Security Challenges

Universities must maintain large, highly heterogeneous environments with limited budgets and IT resources.

To effectively safeguard students learning activities, universities need to be able to monitor students’ online training, at the same time respecting and protecting their privacy.

Students typically have multiple ways to interact with universities systems and resources, and it is not always straightforward to pinpoint activities conducted by any particular individual.

Universities need to be able to find a balance between providing an open educational environment where students can ethically conduct research and get access to required data while at the same time identifying malicious activity and unethical behaviour.

Universities need to effectively deal with threats such as improper use (e.g. cryptocurrency mining), research rights protection and illegal access to safety and copywriter material.

With almost 64% of all malware attacks

the education industry is the most affected by cybercrime.

87% of educational institutes

have experienced at least 1 Cyberattack.

85% of schools and universities

demand additional cyber security funding.
