NopalCyber delivers complete Education Cybersecurity Solutions designed for K–12 schools, higher education, and EdTech providers. Our offense, defense, and advisory services protect sensitive student data, defend against ransomware, and ensure compliance with regulations like FERPA, COPPA, and GDPR. Whether you’re a school district, university, or an EdTech innovator, we make it simple to safeguard learning environments and digital trust.
Why Education Cybersecurity Demands a Different Approach
Education is one of the most targeted industries for cyberattacks. From ransomware disrupting classrooms to phishing campaigns targeting teachers and administrators, the risks are higher than ever. Schools and EdTech companies manage sensitive data—from student records and financial aid information to proprietary research—while facing limited IT staff, budget constraints, and strict compliance requirements.
NopalCyber understands these unique challenges. That’s why we’ve built cybersecurity solutions for K–12 schools, universities, and EdTech companies that deliver enterprise-grade protection in an affordable, flexible, and scalable model.
Our Complete Cybersecurity Model for Education & EdTech
NopalCyber makes cybersecurity maturity accessible to the education sector by uniting offense, defense, and advisory into one framework:
-
Offense: Attack Surface Management, Penetration Testing, Breach Simulations
-
Defense: MXDR, 24/7 SOC, XDR Platform for continuous monitoring and response
-
Advisory: Compliance alignment (FERPA, COPPA, GDPR), vCISO Services, Governance Risk & Compliance (GRC)
Make Cyber Risk Visible & Actionable
Administrators, school boards, and EdTech executives all need visibility into cyber risk. With the Cyber Intelligence Quotient (CIQ), NopalCyber continuously scans your attack surface, scores risk across six domains, and presents it in one simple, board-ready metric.
CIQ makes it easy to quantify, track, and reduce cyber risk—whether you’re preparing for a compliance audit, reporting to leadership, or responding to threats in real time.
