A higher-education system unifying monitoring across multiple institutions.

A higher-education system encompassing 10+ universities and colleges unifies external monitoring across institutional boundaries. Each institution retains operational independence; system-level CISO sees consolidated visibility for the first time. Application-cycle phishing defense runs continuously across all institutions.

THE CUSTOMER

Higher-education system with 10+ universities and colleges.

A regional higher-education system operating 10+ universities, colleges, and graduate institutions. Collective student population of hundreds of thousands; institutional research portfolio spans engineering, sciences, humanities, and graduate research disciplines.

External attack surface inherits the structural complexity of education at system scale. Each institution operates a semi-independent IT footprint. Departments within institutions add infrastructure organically. Research labs spin up systems for individual projects. Student organizations register subdomains. The collective inventory is incomplete by design at multiple levels.

THE CHALLENGE

System-level visibility with per-institution autonomy preserved.

Per-institution independence + uneven security maturity + application-cycle phishing across institutions + research IP attractive to nation-state actors. Unified monitoring without forced tooling reorganization.

The challenge.

Per-institution independence meant per-institution security maturity. System-level CISO had no consolidated visibility across institutions. Application-cycle phishing campaigns ran continuously and varied by institution. Research IP infrastructure attractive to nation-state actors targeting research-heavy disciplines.

The workflow change.

Deepinfo deployed across each institution as a separate portfolio under one platform. Per-institution security contacts retain visibility into their own surface; system-level CISO sees rolled-up dashboards. BRP catches application-cycle phishing across all institutions. CTI Threat Actor Intelligence covers nation-state groups active against research-heavy academic targets.

The outcome.

System-level dashboard rolled up across institutions. Per-institution operational independence preserved. Application-cycle phishing defense continuous. Research IP infrastructure monitored at the same depth as administrative systems.

WHAT CHANGED

Concrete outcomes across the system.

  • System-level dashboard rolled up across institutions: consistent scoring across the system.
  • Per-institution operational independence preserved: institutions keep their tooling and process autonomy.
  • Application-cycle phishing defense continuous: Managed Takedown removal across application + admissions cycles.
  • Research IP infrastructure monitored: same depth across all institutions in the system.
  • Compliance evidence for FERPA + applicable frameworks: audit ready.
