Cyber Security for Universities

How Our Managed Cyber Security Services Can Help Universities

Cyber security should be a top priority for all higher education institutions. Universities store a wide range of sensitive data, including student identities, financial details and medical information. More and more universities are choosing to invest in managed cyber security services and take the necessary precautions to protect their sensitive information from breaches. 

At Obsidian Networks, we offer a range of cyber security services to strengthen your university’s defences against attacks.

Cyber Security Monitoring

Our proactive 24/7 security monitoring service is the best way to protect your sensitive student information from malicious attacks. We monitor for all types of threats, including malware, phishing, insider threats, code injection attacks, and DNS tunnelling, to ensure your high education institution is fully protected. 

Internal & External Penetration Testing

Penetration testing should be essential for all universities to assess any vulnerabilities in your networks which could be exploited by hackers. We offer both internal and external penetration testing to simulate and protect against attacks from both inside and outside of your institution.

Cyber Essentials for Universities

Completing the Cyber Essentials certification demonstrates to students, potential students and stakeholders that you are committed to protecting students’ data and that you have implemented the most effective cyber security measures. The UK government requires all universities to demonstrate a Cyber Essentials certification for funding/grant applications and government contracts. 

At Obsidian Networks, our Cyber Essentials assessors are IASME-certified with years of experience in certifying educational institutions and businesses. The Cyber Essentials qualification is recommended for all universities in ‘Cyber Security and Universities: Managing The Risk’, jointly drafted by sector experts from Universities UK, Jisc and the National Cyber Security Centre.
