Cybersecurity for education: MSP use case

Protecting student records and research data across thousands of endpoints in education institutions.

12,000+ endpoints secured across all education levels

Securing hundreds of thousands of accounts

Over 100 ransomware threats detected and contained

High-value research data continuously protected

Why MSPs must secure educational institutions

Student data privacy – Safeguard personal and academic records against unauthorised access.

Phishing & credential theft – Students and staff are common targets for credential harvesting.

Learning management systems – Secure LMS platforms and classroom collaboration tools.

Regulatory requirements – GDPR, UK Data Protection Act and local mandates demand proof of controls.

Automatic device discovery & profiling – Identify and classify every device (laptops, tablets, smartphones, IoT) as soon as it connects.

Schools and universities need MSPs to deliver reliable, global-grade security that supports learning.
