We believe that with the right approach these risks cannot only be effectively managed but also largely mitigated.

Our fully-managed security program comes with an industry-leading guarantee that if you suffer a ransomware attack, we will have you back online in 24 hours.
University Risk Assessments
We begin every engagement by performing a comprehensive risk assessment custom-designed to identify specialized risks that colleges and universities may encounter. This assessment includes risks related to physical security, as well as critical information systems and the broader school. Many schools have major cybersecurity vulnerabilities and risks that they are unaware of. We rank these security risks as they relate to both likelihoods of occurrence and impact to the organization. Next, we present our findings and work to implement risk mitigation strategies to prevent disruption to critical infrastructure and reduce the risk of catastrophic outages.

No matter how much money and time you put into cybersecurity, incidents can happen. Our world-class team of incident responders can be on the ground within hours to help you contain a data breach or security incident and restore critical functionalities. Our team has a wide array of skillsets to include ransomware recovery, security forensics, and malware removal. Attackers are increasingly targeting schools and faculty.
