Case Study: Grand Canyon Education achieves full visibility of its external attack surface with Cyberpion

University Services Provider Achieves Full Visibility of Their External Attack Surface

Grand Canyon Education, a shared services provider for colleges and universities, needed better visibility into its rapidly expanding external attack surface. As a high-profile education technology leader facing evolving cyber threats, the company wanted to reduce risk, uncover shadow IT and acquired assets, and prevent operational disruptions from cyberattacks. It turned to Cyberpion’s Ecosystem Security platform to help discover and map its internet-facing environment.

With Cyberpion, Grand Canyon Education deployed a web-based SaaS solution that required no installation or changes to existing IT, enabling immediate asset discovery and vulnerability analysis. The platform helped the team identify unknown applications, infrastructure, and vulnerabilities, improving response efforts and supporting proactive remediation to reduce ransomware and disruption risk. Cyberpion delivered faster visibility and reduced overhead by automating discovery and mapping of IT resources.
