The Higher Education Crisis

Education became the most attacked sector in 2025, facing 4,388 cyberattacks per week. Universities hold vast student data but lack security resources.

Ankara University, serving 60,000+ students, faced:

• Hundreds of  web domains creating massive attack surface

• Student records and research data at constant risk

• Network infrastructure across 15+ buildings

• KVKK compliance requirements

• Minimal  IT team managing thousands of assets

Three Critical Challenges

Challenge 1: Massive Attack Surface

Universities average 616 domains (top 500) to 1,580 domains (top 100). Ankara had 800+ domains with Decentralized management—faculties adding systems independently, with thousands of network assets.

Challenge 2: Relentless Attacks

• 4,388 cyberattacks per university weekly (2025)

• 75% increase in education attacks (2020-2021)

• 30% of breaches from ransomware

• Average breach cost: $3+ million

Challenge 3: Data Protection

• Student records protected under GDPR

• Research data worth millions

• 2.2M breached credentials found across 100 UK universities

• Healthcare and financial aid data
