Cybersecurity Challenges in Education

Remote Learning Vulnerabilities

As students and staff access systems from various unsecured networks and devices, threat vectors multiply.

Limited Resources

Most institutions operate with lean IT and security teams, making it difficult to detect and respond to threats effectively.

Fragmented Visibility

With decentralized systems and multi-campus networks, maintaining visibility across digital infrastructure is a persistent challenge

Privacy & Ethics Balance

Universities must protect student privacy while ensuring they monitor activity to detect misuse, academic dishonesty, or security risks.

Research and IP Protection

Academic institutions are custodians of high-value intellectual property—prime targets for espionage and data theft.
