Managed Security Services for Higher Education
Supporting a secure and a smart institutional network
Higher Education Institutions being entrusted with millions of student and business data are often vulnerable to security breaches and threats. From common phishing scams and ransomware to high-level denial-of-service attacks can cause ample damage to both institutions’ and students’ data. Therefore, it can be said that the education industry has become one of the most common targets of cyber thieves that needs immediate support and attention.
Does your institution’s IT team struggle with these security challenges?
- Identifying security risks and breaches
- Setting up and implementing risk mitigation strategies
- Keeping academic transparency and information security in check
- Overcoming a lack of resources and capabilities for internal security
- Complying with the GDPR, PCI DSS, and other data security standards
If any of this feels familiar, then it might be time to work with a professional Managed Security Services provider to improve the institution’s cybersecurity posture!

OculusIT is proud to be higher education’s Managed Security Services Provider of choice, offering countless advantages to colleges and universities, so that they can focus on strategic priorities and not be caught up in day-to-day security tactics.
Often, running a self-owned, in-house security operations center or obtaining the costly tools and components required by a large security team is impossible for every institution as it can be expensive. Taking services from a trusted Managed Security Service Provider on a shared model is a cost-effective strategy to achieve your institution’s security goals.
