Higher education institutions operate in a uniquely complex environment. You're protecting cutting-edge research, managing sensitive student and alumni data, ensuring academic integrity, and maintaining the open network access that fosters innovation. Yet research institutions attract sophisticated threat actors鈥攁nd the cost of a breach extends far beyond data loss to include damaged reputation, lost funding, and compromised research.
Many universities are caught between two bad options: expensive enterprise solutions that don't fit academic budgets, or DIY approaches that leave critical gaps. At 趣夜传媒, we've built education cybersecurity solutions specifically for higher education institutions. We pair powerful detection and response capabilities with 24/7 human expertise, giving you research-grade protection at sustainable cost. You get the security your institution needs without the bloated pricing designed for Fortune 500 companies.
Universities need security that understands the academic mission. Your network must remain open for collaboration and learning while protecting valuable research data and intellectual property. 趣夜传媒's Higher Education Cybersecurity Package handles that balance, delivering robust threat detection and response without unnecessary barriers to teaching and research.
We've worked with institutions managing everything from medical research to engineering projects to sensitive student records. We understand FERPA, HIPAA, and research data protection requirements. We know that downtime during the academic semester creates cascading problems. And we recognize that your IT team is already stretched thin supporting faculty, students, and research operations.
With 趣夜传媒, you're not buying a black box. You're gaining a security partner who speaks your language, understands your environment, and provides transparent reporting. Your team remains in control, supported by experts who respond when threats emerge.
Every institution's technology environment is different. Your assessment includes a comprehensive evaluation of your current security posture鈥攊dentifying vulnerabilities in your research networks, administrative systems, student-facing infrastructure, and remote access solutions. We examine your server configurations, directory services, firewall policies, and third-party integrations, then deliver a detailed remediation roadmap.
This assessment is more than a checklist; it's the foundation for understanding your unique environment. Our team uses these insights to calibrate ongoing monitoring and ensure protection is tailored to your specific risks and compliance requirements.
Centurion monitors all internal network traffic across your institution, detecting malicious activity in real time. Your research networks, administrative systems, student infrastructure鈥擟enturion sees it all. When threats are detected, your security team and 趣夜传媒's SOC are immediately engaged. This managed detection and response system catches sophisticated attacks before they can exfiltrate research data or compromise academic systems.
Endpoint Detection and Response provides visibility into individual systems across your campus鈥攆aculty workstations, lab computers, administrative machines, student devices on your network. When a threat is detected on an endpoint, our SOC can isolate it and terminate malicious processes before they spread.
By combining EDR data with network-level monitoring through Centurion, we identify coordinated attacks and lateral movement that single-layer solutions miss. For institutions managing sensitive research or highly confidential data, EDR deployments can be scaled to protect critical systems and research environments.
Multi-factor authentication is essential for protecting research accounts, administrative access, and sensitive student records. 趣夜传媒 deploys and manages centralized MFA across your environment鈥攊ncluding VPNs, remote access systems, and legacy applications that don't natively support MFA. Our team monitors MFA activity for suspicious patterns, alerting your security team to potential unauthorized access attempts immediately.
Academic institutions operate constantly evolving networks with frequent changes鈥攏ew research projects, temporary collaborators, student devices, evolving threat landscape. 趣夜传媒 conducts monthly vulnerability scans across your environment to identify weaknesses before threat actors exploit them. We deliver detailed reports that explain discovered vulnerabilities, their risk context, and remediation steps, helping your team prioritize fixes based on actual institutional risk.
Despite strong prevention, incidents sometimes occur. Your package includes 40 hours of 趣夜传媒's incident response services at reduced cost. When an incident happens, you have expert support immediately鈥攆orensic analysis, containment strategies, evidence preservation, and guidance on regulatory notifications. You're not working through a ticketing system; you're working with experienced responders who understand the academic and legal implications of breaches.
These services aren鈥檛 included in our standard package, but can be added based on client needs.
Gain a unified view of campus network activity. Monitor research, administrative, and student networks for anomalies and suspicious traffic.
Higher education deserves cybersecurity for universities鈥攏ot off-the-shelf enterprise solutions. 趣夜传媒 understands your mission, your budget constraints, and your security needs. You get 24/7 monitoring by human experts, transparent reporting, and support from a team that actually answers the phone.
Your research data, your reputation, and your mission deserve protection from people who understand what you're protecting.
While Centurian and 趣夜传媒 can鈥檛 ingest the logs from your firewall at this time, we do review firewall rules annually to ensure the security of your network.
趣夜传媒 does not currently offer a managed firewall solution. However, we are always incorporating client feedback and expanding our services accordingly.
While what others provide can be better than nothing, 趣夜传媒 offers a greater level of visibility and capability than those others. Additionally, where 趣夜传媒 stands apart is in cost effectiveness and unmatched service to clients.
趣夜传媒 will respond to cybersecurity incidents 24/7/365. Initial response will be through a call or screen share, however, if that is insufficient, we will deploy 趣夜传媒 team members to work on-site within 72 hours of contact.
