Expertise-Driven Cybersecurity™ programs built for school districts, institutions, EdTech, and other educational companies.

Maximize Cyber Defenses and Maintain FERPA Compliance

From highly targeted ransomware attacks to malicious students on the network, it is critical to maintain a strong defense-in-depth security posture. From school districts and higher education institutions to EdTech companies, the Silent Sector team is equipped with the experience, unique methodologies, and technologies to bring your education organization's security from an emerging state to a mature and FERPA compliant cyber risk management program.

Silent Sector utilizes takes a risk-based, technology agnostic approach to harden your technology environment and operationalize industry best practices while working with the technologies you already have in place. We extend your organization's capabilities, providing the hands-on expertise of cybersecurity engineers, architects, and analysts, all under the experienced guidance of a CISO. Our method brings the capabilities you need to develop and strengthen an effective cyber risk management program for a fraction of the cost of building an in-house team or fragmented 3rd party solutions.

After the foundation of your FERPA compliant cybersecurity program is in place, Silent Sector will continue to support your IT professionals with monitoring and program maintenance. If resources allow, we will even help you build an internal cybersecurity team.
