Education

As K-12 and Higher Education institutions have become more reliant on new technologies to streamline administrative and student-interfacing processes, opportunities for IT consulting services providers have also grown. IT consultants often assist Educational institutions via services such as application development, systems integration, firewall and network protections, project and program management, etc., which have become necessary for these organizations to adapt to changing regulations and industry standards.

One of the largest concerns for Educational institutions today is cybersecurity, as bad actors have continually targeted K-12 and Higher Education institutions. Educational institutions hold large amounts of sensitive student, administrative, and financial data, making it a prized target for cybercriminals. IT consulting services providers can assist these institutions by enhancing their security posture and providing effective capabilities in threat detection and incident response to combat persistent threats such as malware and ransomware.
