Cybersecurity for Higher Education

A Secure Solution for College and Universities

Educational institutions face many challenges in today’s digital landscape: large online user bases, complicated access and permissions, networks that don’t always sync, aging infrastructure, limited IT budgets, compliance and reporting requirements, and sensitive records.

We understand these unique challenges and work with a large network of higher education institutions across the country. BitLyft provides the tools and expert-level cybersecurity team needed for increased network visibility, immediate threat protection, and evolving immunization against attackers. We offer higher education SIEMaaS and SOCaaS services.

university in the Midwest, this workload was the norm.
