How Silverfort Solves Identity Security Challenges in the Education Sector

Visibility into
Service Accounts

Despite the critical role service accounts play in every environment, they suffer from extremely low visibility, exposing them to compromise and lateral movement.

Student Access Across Unmanaged Devices

Students often access resources on their personal devices which are not subject to centralized control or management. This makes them easy prey for compromise and abuse of their access privileges.

Authentication to
Legacy Servers

Active Directory authenticates to legacy servers with NTLM and Kerberos which does not support MFA, leaving them open to malicious access with compromised credentials.

What Makes Educational Institutions a Key Target for Identity Threats

The education sector is an increasingly lucrative target for ransomware and data breaches. Attack volume increased by 179% in 2023, with most attacks involving ransomware operations.

Ransomware attacks use compromised credentials to spread through target environments. Their continued success in this sector highlights critical weaknesses in education organizations’ security architecture. Additionally, legacy and homegrown on-prem applications are prevalent but not protected with today’s security controls.

Without proper security controls, educational organizations are exposed to significant security challenges, especially against identity-based attacks that utilize compromised credentials.
