Education Sector
Introduction to Education Sector servcies:
3B Data Security has worked with organisations across the Education sector including Universities, Secondary Schools, Training Companies and Education Management companies. Many Education organisations are highly complex entities with a wide variety of operational technologies deployed, multiple regulatory regimes which need to be complied with and distributed responsibilities for operational and security matters within cyber security and compliance.
Education organisations have been heavily targeted in the last 18 – 24 months by organised hacking gangs. Sometimes this is purely for financial gain – often with ransomware attacks or payment interception attempts. Frequently the target is the theft of sensitive or classified research data, which may include state sponsored hacking attempts. 3B Data Security have dealt with a number of such attacks over the last 24 months and have gained current expertise in working within the Education sector as a result.
In addition, organisations in the education sector often deal with extensive and complex systems to handle finance and car payments. This usually involves complying with PCI DSS regulations and contractual requirements. 3B Data Security is a PCI Qualified Security Assessor Company, and as such are ideally placed, and experienced, to assist with compliance projects in this field.
Typical services which organisations in this sector would benefit from include:
