Case Study: Regis University achieves uninterrupted campus communications during a ransomware attack with Regroup Mass Notification

Regis University - Customer Case Study

Regis University, a private Jesuit university in Denver with more than 8,000 students, about 2,000 faculty and 660 staff, faced a ransomware cyberattack at the start of the school year that knocked out its internet, email, telephones and website just as students were returning. To maintain critical communications during the outage, Regis turned to Regroup Mass Notification’s mass notification platform and mobile app.

Regroup Mass Notification enabled campus safety to send rapid, targeted alerts and daily operational updates when traditional channels were unavailable, keeping administration and classes running while email and phone service were restored over several weeks. Using Regroup’s platform and the opt-in RU Alert system, Regis was able to reach thousands of students, faculty and staff with time-sensitive information, serving as “the only means” of campus-wide communication and preventing major disruption.
