Protect the research.
Secure the campus.
PulseADT protects research IP, student records, and open campus networks - stopping nation-state IP theft, ransomware, and insider threats autonomously, even with a small IT team.
Years of research. Gone in 847 GB.
Universities and research institutions are primary targets for nation-state IP theft - pharmaceutical formulations, defence research, AI models, and industrial secrets. PulseADT monitors all research network egress, builds behavioural baselines for researchers, and terminates bulk exfiltration attempts before valuable IP leaves the institution.
- Research network egress monitoring with anomalous data volume alerting
- Researcher behavioural baselining: access patterns, file usage, external transfers
- Nation-state IP theft hypothesis built from cross-layer signals
- Funded research data classification and egress policy enforcement
- Export control compliance monitoring for ITAR/EAR-restricted research data
Student records are not an acceptable breach surface.
Universities hold academic records, financial aid data, and personal information for tens of thousands of students. FERPA, GDPR (for European students), and NDPR create overlapping compliance obligations for every institution. PulseADT monitors all student data access continuously and generates audit-ready compliance evidence on demand.
- Student information system (SIS) access anomaly detection
- FERPA-required access logging and anomalous access alerting
- Bulk student record export detection and autonomous block
- GDPR Article 32 compliance for universities with EU student populations
- Financial aid system protection from internal fraud and external intrusion
Campuses are open environments. Security can't be.
Universities operate open wireless networks for tens of thousands of students, staff, and visitors simultaneously. This openness creates a vast and dynamic attack surface: BYOD devices, IoT hardware across campuses, student-operated servers, and research equipment with legacy firmware. PulseADT establishes behavioural baselines across this heterogeneous environment and detects threats automatically.
- Campus wireless anomaly detection across open SSID and student BYOD environments
- IoT and laboratory device behaviour monitoring and rogue device discovery
- Peer-to-peer and lateral movement detection in student network segments
- VPN and remote access abuse detection for staff and postgraduate researchers
- Legacy research equipment vulnerability scoring and isolation policy
Ransomware has cancelled classes, examinations, and graduations.
Education is the sector with the fastest-growing ransomware targeting rate. Underfunded IT teams, legacy infrastructure, and large open-access networks create ideal conditions for ransomware propagation. PulseADT detects pre-encryption staging from the first behavioural signal - protecting student data, administrative systems, and research environments.
- Pre-encryption staging detection: credential sweeping, backup enumeration, lateral movement
- SIS and examination system isolation policy on ransomware stage 1 detection
- Financial and payroll system protection as high-value ransomware targets
- Incident timeline auto-generated for cyber insurance and regulatory notifications
- Recovery prioritisation list generated from impact assessment telemetry
Enterprise defense. Education budget.
Universities get nation-state protection without a nation-state security budget.
Knowledge is the asset. PulseADT keeps it yours.
