Education
The education sector faces increasing cybersecurity challenges, including protecting sensitive student and faculty data, securing diverse IT systems, and complying with privacy regulations such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). The Continuous Automated Purple Teaming (CAPT) platform, powered by Cybral GUARD and Cybral STORM, offers an innovative solution to address these challenges with automation, precision, and scalability.
Cybral GUARD for Education
Cybral GUARD ensures the protection and compliance of sensitive educational data, including student records, research data, and institutional information. By leveraging advanced AI-driven tools, GUARD automates the discovery, classification, and labeling of sensitive data across educational systems. It streamlines compliance with data protection regulations, enforces security policies, and protects data whether it is at rest, in motion, or in use. This ensures that educational institutions can maintain privacy standards while focusing on their primary mission of teaching and research.
Cybral STORM for Education
Cybral STORM, the offensive component of CAPT, complements this by proactively identifying vulnerabilities within educational IT systems. Using automated threat exposure management, STORM performs vulnerability scanning, critical attack path analysis, and risk prioritization. This is particularly valuable for educational institutions, which often operate on open networks, support a wide array of devices, and manage legacy systems that are attractive targets for cybercriminals. STORM ensures that institutions can identify and address potential threats before they are exploited.
Together, GUARD and STORM form the CAPT platform, delivering a unified approach to both security posture management and data posture management. STORM identifies and maps vulnerabilities, while GUARD evaluates the criticality of these vulnerabilities based on the sensitivity of the affected data. This collaboration generates actionable, prioritized defense strategies tailored to the unique needs of the education sector. Powered by proprietary AI and patent-pending technology, CAPT ensures that security measures are automated, scalable, and effective against evolving threats.
By integrating offensive and defensive capabilities into a seamless platform, CAPT empowers educational institutions to protect sensitive data, maintain compliance, and ensure the availability of critical systems. This innovative solution allows universities and schools to focus on delivering high-quality education while maintaining robust cybersecurity and data privacy protections.
