Targeted by Ransomware
Open by Design, Vulnerable by Default
Universities and schools are built on openness — shared networks, BYOD policies, public research, and thousands of users with different access needs. That same openness makes them easy targets.
Student records, financial aid data, research IP, and personal information sit across dozens of systems. Budgets are tight. IT teams are stretched. And attackers know educational institutions often lack the security maturity of corporate environments. Intello delivers cost-effective security that works within these constraints.

Key Security Challenges
What educational institutions face daily
Student Data Privacy
Grades, financial aid, personal records, health data — spread across LMS, SIS, and legacy databases with inconsistent access controls.
Research Data Theft
Valuable research data, grant-funded projects, and IP targeted by nation-state actors and competitors for espionage.
Open Network Architecture
Thousands of devices on campus WiFi — student laptops, IoT, lab equipment, BYOD — with minimal segmentation.
Ransomware Attacks
Educational institutions are top ransomware targets — disrupting exams, encrypting research, and halting operations.
Low Security Awareness
Students, faculty, and staff with varying technical skills — phishing clicks, weak passwords, and shadow IT are common.
EdTech Platform Risks
Third-party learning platforms, video conferencing, and SaaS tools processing student data with insufficient security vetting.
How We Protect Education
Cost-effective security for academic environments
Data Privacy & DLP
Student record protection, data loss prevention, and privacy compliance across all institutional systems.
VAPT
Vulnerability assessments for campus networks, web applications, student portals, and research infrastructure.
ISO 27001
ISMS implementation tailored for educational institutions — systematic approach to information security.
EDR Solutions
Endpoint protection for faculty workstations, lab computers, and administrative systems.
SOC Services
Security monitoring and threat detection scaled for education budgets and threat patterns.
Incident Response
Rapid containment and recovery — minimising disruption to classes, exams, and research.
Network Segmentation
Separating student, faculty, admin, research, and IoT networks with proper access controls.
Security Training
Awareness programs for students, faculty, and staff — phishing recognition, password hygiene, data handling.
Cloud Security
Securing cloud-based LMS, SIS, and collaboration platforms used across the institution.
Third-Party Risk
Assessing edtech vendors, SaaS platforms, and service providers who access student data.
Research Data Security
Encryption, access controls, and backup strategies for grant-funded research and sensitive datasets.
Ransomware Defence
Prevention, detection, and recovery strategies specifically designed for educational environments.
Case Study
Multi-Campus University — 15,000+ Students
Challenge
Open campus network with 15,000+ devices, no segmentation, legacy student information systems, and two ransomware incidents in the previous year. Limited IT security budget and no dedicated security team.
Solution
Intello deployed network segmentation, EDR on critical endpoints, managed SOC monitoring, student data encryption, security awareness training for all staff and students, and third-party vendor risk assessments for edtech platforms.
Results
Zero ransomware incidents since deployment
Network segmented into 5 security zones
92% staff training completion rate
Student data encrypted at rest and in transit
3 high-risk edtech vendors identified and replaced
SOC detecting threats in under 2 hours
