Why Education Organisations Choose Defense.com

Defense.com offers a streamlined, cost-effective approach to cybersecurity that integrates seamlessly with your existing setup. Our platform empowers your team to stay ahead of threats, providing peace of mind around the clock.

Simple and Predictable Pricing

Our log source-based pricing model keeps things straightforward and transparent. Unlike complex, usage-based alternatives, you pay based on the sources you monitor—making budgeting predictable and hassle-free. This allows education leaders to allocate funds confidently towards teaching and student support, without unexpected security costs.

A Unified Threat Management Interface

Build a single, intuitive platform to monitor and respond to threats across your entire environment. Defense.com consolidates detection and response in one place, saving valuable time and resources for your IT team. Whether managing remote learning devices or on-campus networks, you'll gain complete visibility and efficiency, reducing the administrative burden on educators and administrators.

Managed SOC as Your Team Extension

Our in-house Service Operations Centre (SOC) acts as a seamless extension of your technical teams. With 24/7/365 coverage, our expert analysts proactively hunt for threats, investigate alerts, and respond swiftly—without the need to expand your headcount. This is ideal for education organisations where IT staff may already be stretched thin, ensuring constant vigilance even during holidays or out-of-hours.

Automated Threat Response

Leverage our automation features to handle threats automatically, especially during non-working hours. This minimises response times and reduces the risk of escalation, allowing your institution to maintain uninterrupted operations. From isolating compromised devices to alerting key personnel, automation ensures threats are contained before they impact learning.
