Higher Education

Ensuring the safety of your students’, faculty’s, and your research data

As a university, you are in possession of highly valuable and sensitive data – your students’, employees’ and donors’ personal information, intellectual property, confidential research, and more. All of these assets present a treasure trove for malicious actors, making your institution a lucrative target.

Remote learning and the rise of ransomware

As a vast majority of higher learning institutions have switched to partial or complete remote learning, they witnessed an unprecedented number of ransomware attacks, often resulting in millions of dollars in ransom payments. While cyber breaches result in significant financial losses and damages to reputation, they, more importantly, jeopardize the safety of students and employees. Educational records, along with personal health records, are some of the most expensive assets sold on the dark web. Is your institution’s cybersecurity up to the challenge?

Proactively manage and mitigate risk with Gamma Defense

While institutions of higher learning were one of the earliest adopters of digital technologies, many still operate either with legacy technologies or outdated cybersecurity systems, making their defense no match to the increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks.

Our cutting-edge Gamma Defense solutions and deep knowledge will ensure that your cybersecurity transforms into a centralized, robust system that constantly monitors your network for potential vulnerabilities, identifies potential threats, and neutralizes them before they have a chance to infiltrate your network.
