BYOD Peace of Mind

Personal laptops? No problem. AppMoat ensures only vetted apps access school resources.

AppMoat secures BYOD without blocking tools kids need for projects.

Why Education Institutions Are High-Risk Targets

Budget Constraints: Schools often use outdated software with unpatched vulnerabilities.

Diverse User Base: Students/staff frequently download untested tools for projects or research.

Sensitive Data: Student records, financial aid info, and research data are lucrative targets for extortion.

Attack Example: Exploited Vulnerabilities in Legacy Software

Scenario:
Outdated video conferencing tools were exploited to deploy ransomware during remote learning surges, causing $10M+ in recovery costs and data loss.

How AppMoat Stops It:
Even if a vulnerability allows code, AppMoat blocks unrecognized processes spawned by exploited apps →lateral movement halted.
