Securing Learning across Schools, Colleges, and Universities
Modern ways of learning pose unique cybersecurity challenges. SenseOn empowers educational institutions with a more efficient way to protect every asset.

Graduate to advanced protection
Around 6 in 10 higher education institutions experience breaches or attacks at least weekly in 2022. With many schools using online learning platforms and remote teaching, ransomware continues to be a favourite tactic. Now more than ever, schools, colleges and universities need the right tools in place to keep adversaries at bay.
Why educational agencies love SenseOn
Minimal effort required to correlate data
The nature of schools, colleges and universities means that there is a high volume of sensitive student data. This, in turn, generates a significant amount of security data. SenseOn correlates all of this data into one usable format so analysts can instantly find out who, what, where, when and how without having to try and link up information from disparate sources.
Direct observation of your network
As security teams are becoming more distributed through remote working, it is becoming even harder to access network information with traditional tools. SenseOn’s Universal Sensor collects data across remote workers, offices, production sites and cloud instances at once with an EPNS service to correlate endpoint information and the network data at the point of being recorded.
Drastic reduction in blind spots
With sensitive data comes great responsibility. It is a top priority that there are no security blind spots in a school’s, college’s or university’s digital estate. Any gap could be an entryway for adversaries to access confidential information. Our Universal Sensor provides specific, granular information without the traffic jam of lots of different tools to stop adversaries from penetrating your estate.
Reduction of noise
As with many security teams, resources for cyber security within schools, colleges and universities are often thinly stretched. As such, there is rarely the capacity to resolve the thousands of alerts that are generated by traditional security tools. Using a highly accurate AI based reasoning framework, SenseOn only brings true positive alerts to the attention of analysts, dramatically reducing security operating costs.
