Safeguarding Academic Environments Against Cyber Threats

Shield 7 recognizes the distinctive cybersecurity hurdles faced by higher education institutions, balancing the imperative to maintain an open learning environment with the critical need for powerful security measures.

Challenges We Address

Our solutions address the following challenges inherent to the industry:

Diverse Network Infrastructure

Higher education institutions operate across diverse networks, each with unique security requirements. We implement tailored solutions to ensure seamless access to data, resources, and software while maintaining vigorous security standards.

Protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

The security of student Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is paramount to building trust among students, families, and faculty. We deploy advanced security protocols to safeguard sensitive data against unauthorized access and breaches.

Access Management

With a multitude of devices and diverse users requiring access to vital resources, protected and efficient access management is essential. Our solutions streamline access control processes while maintaining security and compliance standards.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Challenges

Higher education institutions often embrace “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) policies, introducing new security challenges. We address these challenges by implementing comprehensive BYOD security protocols to protect users and institutional assets.
