Education

According to the Breach Level Index, educational institutions faced over 120 breaches in 2017. Education data is decentralized and, when compromised, it puts students and employees at risk.

DLP

Protect data from leaks on endpoints, in LANs, in the cloud, and in virtual environments.

 

Monitor even highly secure channels for leaks (Telegram, WhatsApp, Viber, etc.).

 
 
 

Detailed archiving of incidents.

 

Safeguard remote workers using Zoom, RDP, TeamViewer, and other services for remote work or access.

This poses a set of certain challenges that must be addressed as part of a data loss prevention program and cyber threat detection:

Comply with standards, regulations and legal requirements

Take preventive measures against cyber crime

Implement insider threat detection tools

Track data usage

The educational sector is a desirable target for insiders and cyber criminals due to the enormous amount of data, such as login credentials, research info, social security numbers and healthcare records.

In order to prove learning outcomes and secure funding, an educational institution has to control the following:

Personal Information (PII, PHI), including CVs of personnel and students

Software audits, including installation, uninstallation and missing software

Fund allocation reports

R&D data

Expenditure plans

External devices and data transmission

Research methodologies

Information access
