Website Security for Education Institutions

Continuous Monitoring:

Real-time security monitoring of all web properties to ensure their integrity and availability. Instant alerting in the event of any security incidents (e.g. malware distribution, SEO spam, DNS changes, etc.) The monitoring platform provides continuous visibility into the security state of all web properties.

DDoS Mitigation:

Mitigate Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks designed to disrupt the availability of all web properties via Sucuri’s Globally Distributed Anycast Network (GDAN). Sucuri’s Firewall is a reverse proxy that combines a Content Distribution Network (CDN) and Website Application Firewall (WAF) into one solution.

Performance Optimization

Improve the performance of your web properties by employing Sucuri’s Content Distribution Network (CDN). The CDN employs several caching techniques that store static content at the edge to alleviate the number of unnecessary requests and load on infrastructure resources. With Sucuri’s CDN, your content is seamlessly distributed around the world, while providing quicker response for your audience, and reducing the infrastructure investment.

Software Exploitation Prevention

Stop attackers from exploiting software vulnerabilities in your websites. The Sucuri Firewall is a custom Website Application Firewall (WAF) and Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) designed to mitigate all forms of application attacks through virtual patching and hardening techniques. Prevention includes safeguards against vulnerabilities as defined by Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).

SIEM Integration

Professional support to complement and integrate into existing security controls such as a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. Sucuri works with multiple SIEM integrations to seamlessly push audit activity, providing an organization’s security team full visibility of all web-based activity.

FERPA Compliance

The Federal Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is predominantly about protecting the privacy of student education records. To comply with this federally-mandated law, Sucuri’s Data Management / Protection Policy (DMPP) specifically outlines the flow of data through Sucuri’s GDAN and ensures that data is never stored or accessible.
