Cybersecurity Solutions for Colleges and Universities

 

K-12 Education
Higher Education
Local Government

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—and 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 Scinary, 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.

Why Higher Education Chooses Scinary

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. Scinary'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 Scinary, 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.

What's Included in Our Higher Education Cybersecurity Package

Scinary Cyber Assessment

EDR + SOC Monitoring

Scinary Managed MFA

Vulnerability Scanning,
Analysis, And Reporting

Incident Response
SCINARY CYBER ASSESSMENT

Every institution's technology environment is different. Your assessment includes a comprehensive evaluation of your current security posture—identifying 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.

Assessment includes:

  • Complete vulnerability scan of your server environment (research and administrative systems)
  • Review of active directory and privileged access management configurations
  • Firewall logical access and network segmentation review
  • Third-party risk evaluation (including research collaborators and external partners)
  • Remote access software inventory and policy review
SCINARY CENTURION MDR + SOC MONITORING

Centurion monitors all internal network traffic across your institution, detecting malicious activity in real time. Your research networks, administrative systems, student infrastructure—Centurion sees it all. When threats are detected, your security team and Scinary's SOC are immediately engaged. This managed detection and response system catches sophisticated attacks before they can exfiltrate research data or compromise academic systems.

EDR + SOC MONITORING

Endpoint Detection and Response provides visibility into individual systems across your campus—faculty 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.

SCINARY MANAGED MFA

Multi-factor authentication is essential for protecting research accounts, administrative access, and sensitive student records. Scinary deploys and manages centralized MFA across your environment—including 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.

VULNERABILITY SCANNING, ANALYSIS, AND REPORTING

Academic institutions operate constantly evolving networks with frequent changes—new research projects, temporary collaborators, student devices, evolving threat landscape. Scinary 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.

INCIDENT RESPONSE

Despite strong prevention, incidents sometimes occur. Your package includes 40 hours of Scinary's incident response services at reduced cost. When an incident happens, you have expert support immediately—forensic 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between Scinary and other similar providers?

While what others provide can be better than nothing, Scinary offers a greater level of visibility and capability than those others. Additionally, where Scinary stands apart is in cost effectiveness and unmatched service to clients.

What’s your incident response policy?

Scinary 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 Scinary team members to work on-site within 72 hours of contact.

Can you read/monitor firewall logs?

We ingest FortiGate logs and manage FortiGates specifically, and are looking at expanding this to other firewalls in the future.
