IT is falling short in higher ed

Cybersecurity and data privacy risks

Higher education is one of the most targeted sectors for cybercrime, facing threats like ransomware, phishing, and unauthorized data access. Institutions must protect student records, research data, and financial transactions.

Hybrid and remote learning support

Universities need to support seamless online learning with high-performance cloud services, secure collaboration tools, and scalable network infrastructure.

Managing complex IT environments

From student portals and research databases to administrative systems, institutions rely on multiple, often disconnected platforms that require a cohesive IT strategy.

Regulatory compliance and data governance

Higher education institutions must comply with regulations such as FERPA, GDPR, and HIPAA, to protect student and faculty data, while ensuring secure IT operations.

Budget constraints and IT modernization

Many institutions struggle with limited IT budgets, making it difficult to modernize infrastructure, while maintaining operational efficiency.
