In higher education, reputation is essential, and nothing shatters a good reputation faster than a high-profile cybersecurity attack that compromises the personal data of students and staff or steals other sensitive or legally protected information. Compounding the challenge of thwarting cyberattacks is the fact that educational institutions often have limited staff, resources, and budget to put toward cybersecurity, even though they are under constant threat.
One solution that has proved to be a big help — both in extending cyberdefenses and in reducing attacks — is automation. Automating the mitigation of low-level attacks can reduce up to 90% of the threats that are stalking colleges, universities, and other schools.
Palo Alto Networks’ Cortex XSOAR gives them an edge with powerful automation that blocks common threats, accelerates incident response, and frees IT teams to focus on the most serious risks. With customizable playbooks, real-time collaboration, and threat intelligence built in, XSOAR helps higher ed institutions defend sensitive data while reducing stress on limited security staff.
