Protect academic institutions’ diverse community of administrators, educators, students, and staff against data breaches.
Education is a target. 82% of K-12 schools experienced a cyber incident, with the human element being the primary target.
The Education/Research sector experienced the highest number of attacks, with an average of 3323 attacks per organization per week.
The majority (59%) of technology budgets account for 5% or less of a district’s total budget.
HOW ENZOIC HELPS
From K–12 school districts to colleges and universities, education institutions are increasingly targeted by threat actors exploiting compromised credentials. The sector’s broad attack surface—fueled by remote learning, shared devices, legacy systems, and underfunded IT teams—makes it a prime target for phishing, ransomware, and identity-based attacks.
According to the 2025 MS-ISAC K–12 Cybersecurity Assessment, 82% of schools experienced cyber incidents, with over 9,300 confirmed attacks logged across more than 5,000 institutions. The majority of these incidents targeted the human element, with phishing, malvertising, and password theft. These threats often peak during critical academic periods like midterms, onboarding, or summer maintenance windows—when schools are at their most vulnerable.
Credential theft doesn’t just impact IT systems. In K–12, it can disrupt cafeteria services, special education plans, and classroom technology. In higher education, it threatens research IP, student data, and financial aid systems.
We believe protecting academic communities starts with protecting credentials. Enzoic enables education institutions to prevent account takeover and stop credential-based threats—without introducing friction for users or overwhelming lean IT teams.
Our solution integrates directly with existing authentication systems to continuously screen credentials against a live database of exposed passwords sourced from the dark web, infostealer malware, and breach data. No passwords are stored or transmitted, and no action is required unless a credential is at risk.
Enzoic gives educational institutions a trusted way to block weak or reused passwords in real-time, enforce NIST SP 800-63B compliance, and provide immediate protection without disrupting learning. Whether you’re managing a school district or a sprawling university network, Enzoic helps you protect access, secure identities, and reduce account takeover risk—without overloading your team.
BENEFITS
Educational IT teams face mounting threats with limited staff, tight budgets, and aging infrastructure. Enzoic provides automated, credential-based protection that’s built for these realities—securing logins without adding complexity. Works for Small, Stretched Teams Enzoic keeps protection automatic—reducing manual tasks and alert fatigue.
Fortify account security without adding friction to the authentication flow. Detect in real-time when trusted passwords and credentials become vulnerable on the Dark Web.
Remove outdated policies and follow best practice password policy recommendations from NIST. This includes detecting when good passwords become compromised.
Monitor school login credentials and receive real-time alerts when a user’s information is detected in a data breach. Automate remediation options to keep your academic institution secure.
Director of Identity and Access Management
“Passwords remain an effective and affordable authentication solution. However, to keep our systems secure, we determined we needed a way to prevent the use of compromised credentials.”
“Protecting against password attacks is essential to the safety of our university. Enzoic makes that simple. It’s an excellent service that’s saved our butts quite a bit!”
