Why It Matters

The digital education landscape is a playground for hackers.

With cyber threats on the rise, educational institutions are constantly under attack. Data breaches, ransomware and phishing attacks are not just a possibility, and they are part of everyday life.

Educational institutions, especially in cybersecurity in higher education, are a prime target for cyberattacks, facing more than 8,000 attacks a week — more than double the global average.

Education leaders are pressured to provide ironclad security with limited budgets and resources. A single security breach can mean the loss of student data, a shutdown of operations and irreversible reputational damage. We understand these challenges.

Our cybersecurity solutions are designed to take the burden off your shoulders. We identify vulnerabilities, strengthen defenses, and protect your facility from new threats.

Trust Devox to protect what matters most.

What We Offer

Services We Provide

  • Cyber Risk Assessment & Compliance

    No more guesswork — know your vulnerabilities before attackers do!

    Cyber threats are evolving faster than regulations, leaving fintech companies vulnerable. 88% of financial organizations say that identifying and managing cyber risks is their biggest security challenge. (Accenture) Without a proactive approach, compliance gaps and unaddressed vulnerabilities turn into costly security breaches.

    We assess your security maturity, review event logs, and simulate attack scenarios — turning complex data into clear, actionable steps.

    • The rising threats in cybersecurity in education are evident — institutions saw a 105% increase in ransomware attacks in 2024, with outdated systems and limited budgets favoring vulnerabilities.
    • Comprehensive vulnerability assessment: We identify vulnerabilities across your entire IT infrastructure using advanced scanning tools.

    • Secure backup encryption: Ensure that all backup data is encrypted to reduce the risk of data breaches.
  • Insider Threat Management

    Protect yourself from the invisible threats lurking in your company.

    Nearly 36% of education security breaches are due to insider threats. Our solutions monitor user activity, detect unusual behavior, and prevent unauthorized access before damage occurs.

    • Comprehensive insider risk profiling: Identify high-risk individuals based on behavioral analysis, access patterns and historical activity.
    • Continuous behavior monitoring: Track user actions across endpoints, cloud services and internal networks and create baselines to detect anomalies immediately.
    • Dynamic access control: Implement real-time access controls and dynamically grant or revoke permissions based on risk levels and user roles
    • AI-powered threat detection: Leverage machine learning models trained on education-specific threats to detect subtle deviations that indicate insider risk.
    • Incident Reconstruction & Prevention: Conduct thorough post-incident analysis and reconstruct every step of an intrusion to strengthen defenses and prevent recurrence.
  • Cloud Security for EdTech

    Because in cybersecurity, prepared employees are your best defense.

  • IoT Security for Smart Campuses

    Secure your digital campus ecosystem — from classroom technology to building control.

    IoT devices improve learning capabilities but also increase the attack surface. As campuses become more connected, so does the attack surface. 99.3% of smart home and IoT attacks exploit known vulnerabilities, Bitdefender reports. Unsecured devices — from interactive whiteboards to HVAC systems — can become gateways for cybercriminals, compromising both data and physical security.

    We secure all connected devices with strict access controls, continuous monitoring, and automated threat detection.

    • Zero-trust device authentication: Ensure that all connected devices — from smart boards to HVAC systems — continuously authenticate before accessing the network.
    • Micro-segmented networks: Divide IoT networks on campus into secure zones to contain threats and minimize lateral movement in the event of a compromise.
    • Real-time IoT threat intelligence: Deploy tools that scan, detect and respond to IoT-specific threats such as unauthorized firmware changes and rogue devices.
    • Granular access protocols: Assign device-specific access rights to ensure that only vetted personnel can modify, control or interact with critical systems.
    • Automated threat prevention: Integrate AI-based solutions to automatically detect and neutralize IoT vulnerabilities to ensure seamless learning and campus operations.
