Industry analysis & approach

Why Education Chooses AdVran

Schools and universities are among the most targeted sectors for ransomware and data breaches. Student records, financial aid data, and research IP represent high-value targets, while budgets for dedicated security teams are often limited.

Our Approach

AdVran combines managed IT and security into a single service, giving educational institutions enterprise-grade protection without enterprise-grade budgets. We manage your campus networks, devices, and cloud systems while simultaneously running a 24/7 security operation to keep student data safe.

What This Looks Like in Practice

Campus-wide network management including Wi-Fi, wired infrastructure, and guest networks
1:1 device fleet management for student Chromebooks, laptops, and tablets
FERPA compliance maintained continuously with documented controls and audit trails
Ransomware defense with rapid containment, because schools cannot afford weeks of downtime
