SentryXDR – Helps the Education Sector Maintain Compliance with Frequently Changing Regulations

Background

Technology is becoming ubiquitous in the education industry, resulting in rapidly expanding attack surfaces and increased targeting by threat actors.

Recently, Logically worked with a higher education institution that needed to quickly bring its cybersecurity protocols into compliance with newly updated Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) requirements.

Logically provided the organization with the 24/7 security monitoring, threat detection, and reporting capabilities it needed to comply with nine new GLBA elements and, in the process, significantly elevated the education provider’s overall security posture.

The Problem

As the security landscape in the education sector continues to evolve, emerging threats are driving the need for new tools and technology to secure data and networks. In response to these new threats, GLBA released updated requirements to help ensure the security and confidentiality of student and staff information.

With only 18 months to upgrade its cybersecurity to meet the June 2023
deadline, the organization began looking for a security operations center (SOC) platform that could solve its immediate need for enhanced monitoring, detection, and analytics and be flexible enough to adapt to future regulatory changes.
