Cybersecurity for education Protect learning, data, and classroom continuity
Schools, colleges, and universities rely on digital platforms to deliver learning, manage operations, and protect sensitive student data. N‑able helps you secure, manage, and recover critical systems so learning stays on track.
Why education is a prime target for cyberattacks
Education environments handle large volumes of PII, research data, and intellectual property across campuses and remote learners. Tight budgets and lean IT teams make keeping up with evolving threats difficult, increasing the risk of disruption, data loss, and reputational damage.

End‑to‑end cyber resilience for education
The beauty of Adlumin is that we can finally be proactive in assessing and dealing with security risks before they become an issue. We are better informed about what is going on and ahead of the game because we can respond to things as they happen instead of after.
The machine learning integration was another aspect that we really liked about Adlumin. As humans, there is only so much we can parse through a day, but when throwing in machine learning that Adlumin has on the platform, it is so powerful because it can pick out those patterns much faster than a human could. And that has been a huge time saver for us.
We can shut someone's account down, 100% lock them out so no one can get into it, within about 30 seconds of getting an alert from Adlumin. By the time Adlumin lets us know, the automation is in a place where we can shut it down.
With Cove, management overheads have moved from unmanageable to minimal, to the point where we almost feel like we could 'set it and forget it,' allowing us to focus on delivering high quality support."
