Academic Institutions

Universities and colleges are prime targets for database breaches and Hedgehog has become the trusted standard for academic institutions

Stored data, Personally Identifiable Information (PII), such as private information about students, faculty, staff and alumni, including financial aid information, academic records, health records and grades, are particularly inviting to criminals and opportunistic hackers.
 

Database breaches come at a cost

Databases attract cybercriminals because PII can be used for fraud, identity theft and as a tradable commodity. Stolen information can expose individuals to great financial, and even personal risk.

PII data breaches can also expose institutions to liability. Since 2003 and starting with CA SB1386, the majority of U.S. states have laws mandating privacy breach notification. Breached institutions must now incur the material costs of notification and penalties for the data breaches, in addition to suffering damage to their reputations.
