How CyberLab Protects Education
Meet compliance requirements, secure your data, and ensure online threats don’t compromise your institution.
Detect.
The first stage in partnering with your institution is to assess your current security posture and identify any vulnerabilities or weaknesses we can address.
Our Penetration Testing services help identify vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, evaluate your ability to respond to security threats, assess compliance with security policies, and improve security awareness among staff and faculty.
Vulnerability Assessments offer a similar approach but are primarily automated, designed to provide a high-level overview of risks across your network efficiently.
You can streamline your regular vulnerability assessments with CyberLab Control, enabling automated monthly assessments to maintain security proactively.
To further enhance your security measures, Vicarius vRx offers a complete patch management system that discovers, prioritises, and remediates software vulnerabilities across your estate, including smaller applications that are often overlooked.
Additionally, Forescout provides comprehensive visibility across your entire network, discovering and automatically classifying every IP-connected device.
