Higher Education
Detect, investigate and respond to cyber cyberthreats to protect your data – so you can focus on the business of learning.
It was really important to me to work with a small group of innovative industry partners in developing our unified cyber security platform, and Exabeam have been first class at fitting that: and acting as a superb critical friend to shape the vision I had.

Addressing the skills shortage
Is your security team adequately staffed? The likely answer is no. With an overall shortage of cyber experts it’s critical that your security team can be as efficient as possible without intense training or expertise. On average, the Exabeam platform improves the operational efficiency of security teams more than 50% through automated features like natural language querying, context enhanced parsing, and data presentation.

Mitigating cybersecurity risk
Exabeam solutions use behavioral analytics to accurately detect high-risk abnormal activity across your network. This user behavior directs your security team, in near real time, to instances of a potentially malicious users, or indicators of compromise such as early signs of a potential ransomware attack, and visibility for distinguishing true threats versus odd, otherwise harmless behavior.
Complex user base
Despite having dozens of security tools, schools face exceptional detection challenges due to multiple user types who often use technology in unusual ways. With Exabeam Smart Timelines, your analysts have all the information they need to rapidly investigate and respond — including a complete view of the timeline and risk score for each action taken by a user.
