Education Sector in Cyber
In today's digital era, education is increasingly dependent on technology for teaching, learning, and administrative functions. This reliance makes educational institutions prime targets for cyber threats. At Pentest People, we understand the unique cybersecurity challenges the education sector faces. Educational institutions handle a wealth of sensitive data, including student records, research data, and financial information, making them attractive to cybercriminals. Additionally, the widespread use of online learning platforms and digital resources has expanded the potential attack surface.

What Cyber Challenges Does The Education Sector Face?
Diverse User Access Points: Schools and universities typically have a large and varied user base. Each user has different access rights to digital resources, creating a complex network that is challenging to monitor and secure.
Sensitive Data Protection: Educational institutions handle a wealth of sensitive data, from student records and grades to financial information and research data. This makes them attractive targets for cybercriminals.
Lack of Cybersecurity Awareness: Users within the education sector, especially students, may need more awareness about good cybersecurity practices. Phishing attacks, poor password management, and unsafe internet browsing can lead to unintentional security breaches.
Limited Resources: Many educational institutions, particularly public ones, operate with limited budgets. This often results in underfunded IT departments that need help to implement comprehensive cybersecurity measures and keep up with evolving cyber threats.

See What Our Clients Have to Say About our Professional Services
“Pentest People stand out in the field of penetration testing due to the skillset of people they have working there. We undertook a complex bespoke pentest with them which required a lot of pre-work in order to make sure it was scoped correctly and they took the time to come onsite to make sure all was correct prior to commencing. From my experience with them, they are very intelligent people with a deep understanding of the security landscape and we will continue to use them for future testing requirements”.
