Universities and research institutions handle sensitive data from thousands of students, valuable intellectual property, and open networks that facilitate collaboration—but also make them vulnerable to attacks. Ransomware, phishing targeting faculty, and research theft are growing threats.
Our 24/7 SOC protects the educational ecosystem—including the cloud campus, BYOD networks, academic systems, and research data—without hindering the openness that defines university life.
Specific threats affecting this sector in Central America and Latin America, amplified by evolving regulations and expanding attack surfaces.
Universities are the third most targeted sector by ransomware. A single incident can cancel classes, lock down registration systems, destroy research data, and paralyze the institution for weeks.
Students and faculty are easy targets for phishing. Stolen credentials grant access to academic platforms, institutional email, research repositories, and the university's financial systems.
Laboratories and research centers generate high-value intellectual property. State actors and competitors actively seek to steal ongoing research, patents, and experimental data.
Every component of our service was designed to protect the educational ecosystem without limiting academic openness and collaboration.
Continuous monitoring of BYOD networks, campus cloud, LMS systems, enrollment platforms, and institutional email. Detection rules tailored to the educational environment: high traffic, diverse devices.
Detection of unauthorized access to academic records, students' personal data, and financial systems. Monitoring of bulk downloads, anomalous queries, and data exfiltration.
Specialized rules for TTPs that target the education sector. Detection of phishing attacks targeting .edu credentials, post-compromise lateral movement, and the early stages of ransomware encryption.
Automatic generation of security reports for university boards, accrediting bodies, and data protection regulators. Documented evidence for audits and IT governance.
Our SOC is built on the international and regional standards that apply to your industry.
