Why Most Educational Institutions Struggle with Cybersecurity

We’re helping schools secure data, protect students, and simplify compliance—without the complexity.

Surface-Level Protection

Most institutions rely on default firewalls, unmanaged devices, and “basic” antivirus tools that do little against modern ransomware or phishing threats.

Without layered protections and monitoring, attackers bypass school networks easily.

Misplaced Spend on Tools, Not Outcomes

 Districts and universities are sold tools without implementation support. The result? Budget spent, but vulnerabilities remain.

We’ve seen campuses pay for logging platforms that no one checks.

Too Much Complexity, No Accountability

 With limited internal staff, IT teams are expected to handle compliance, patching, student data privacy, vendor reviews, and more—all without a clear roadmap.

Security becomes everyone’s job... so no one owns it.
