Higher education

Open by design. Secure by necessity.

Colleges and universities run open networks for thousands of users, hold sensitive student and research data, and do it with lean IT teams. We help you protect the institution without closing the campus.

Frameworks we help you meet

  • GLBA (federal student aid)
  • FERPA
  • NIST SP 800-171
  • CMMC
  • HIPAA (student health)

What we hear from higher education leaders

The risks keeping you up at night.

Open networks, unmanaged devices

Students, faculty and guests bring devices you don't control onto networks you can't lock down.

Research and controlled data

Federally funded research can carry NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC obligations.

Financial aid compliance

Institutions handling federal student aid are subject to GLBA safeguards requirements.
