Our goals are different than other industries. While industry is focused on protecting trade secrets and intellectual property, within education our focus has always been on making information more available. On sharing. On fostering learning.
And yet, information security is becoming more and more important. Protecting our students personal information is foundational to the relationship that we foster with those students and their families. We can’t afford to lose that trust.

Schools aren’t immune to security incidents. Whether they stem from a faculty member clicking on something they shouldn’t or a malicious attacker targeting the institution, security incidents can be devastating to the ability to deliver instruction. In person, we increasingly rely on technology in the classroom. And online, technology is critical to our delivery. A business interruption event that affects availability can be costly in terms of lost hours in the classroom.
And yet, on campuses across the nation, we struggle to do more with less. IT departments are less staffed and have fewer resources than peers of a similar size in industry. Security is important - but it is rarely the focus of the campus at large.
Net Reaction works with schools to understand their unique risks and to develop plans to address those risks. Whether it’s getting your hands around the security risks that exist, or it’s developing a roadmap to address those risks with the resources you have. Whether it’s addressing regulatory requirements surrounding research grants or protecting student data - Net Reaction’s experts can help.
Net Reaction understands education. We work with schools of all sizes and backgrounds.
We would love to help.
