Case Study: Master’s-level Institution strengthens threat detection and blocks ransomware with Anomali

Educational Institution Schools Threats with Anomali

Master’s-level Institution, a public university with more than 8,200 students and a small cybersecurity team, faced an overwhelming volume of cyber intrusion attempts and inbound email threats every day. To improve its ability to detect, block, and respond to attacks across a fragmented security stack, it turned to Anomali and its ThreatStream threat intelligence platform.

With Anomali ThreatStream, the institution was able to aggregate and operationalize threat intelligence from commercial, open-source, and ISAC feeds, integrate it with existing security tools, and gain complete visibility into its IOCs. The results included faster and more accurate threat detection, successful blocking of ransomware, reduced malware infections, no data breaches to date, a 200+ point BITSIGHT rating increase, and a 50% reduction in cybersecurity insurance costs.
