IronNet, Inc. (NYSE: IRNT), an innovative leader Transforming
Cybersecurity Through Collective DefenseSM, today announced that it
has partnered with Brookdale Community College by deploying the
IronNet Collective DefenseSM platform to help defend against
increased cyber threats facing the higher education sector.
With the deployment of the IronNet Collective Defense platform,
Brookdale Community College will improve its network visibility and
threat detection, transitioning its existing tools from a defensive
to proactive cybersecurity posture. Brookdale Community College
joins the IronNet community of educational organizations, including
K-12 districts and higher education institutions. Recent data from
Microsoft Security Intelligence shows that the past 30 days, 82
percent of all malware attacks globally, or nearly 6 million, were
targeted at educational organizations. With the IronNet Collective
Defense platform, organizations can anonymously exchange actionable
attack intelligence to stop attacks before they happen.
“In today’s world, we see bad actors targeting schools at every
level,” said George Sotirion, Chief Information Officer of
Brookdale Community College. “Our community college requires a
platform that protects the data and privacy of our faculty and
students and offers us real-time visibility into relevant threats.
Only IronNet offers an industry-leading platform that can
strengthen our network security and offer insights from across a
community of peers.”
“The education sector is now a primary target for cyber attacks,
putting our next generation at risk. We need leaders across school
districts, colleges, and universities to work together to protect
this critical sector from further attacks,” said General (Ret.)
Keith Alexander, co-CEO and founder of IronNet. “As a top community
college in the U.S., Brookdale is taking a proactive stance against
bad actors by partnering with IronNet to not only defend its
networks against real-time attacks, but also strengthen the
security posture of the entire education community.”
Brookdale Community College will use the IronNet Network
Detection and Response (NDR) solution, a leading AI-based NDR tool
as part of the Collective Defense platform, to better detect and
defend against cyber attacks. The security platform will enable the
community college to leverage NDR capabilities, powered by
behavioral analytics, to detect unknown threats on its network and,
in turn, anonymously in real-time exchange visibility with others
in the Collective Defense community.
The IronNet Collective Defense platform is the only solution
that can identify anomalous behaviors and deliver actionable attack
intelligence to all the other participants in the IronNet
community. It serves as an early warning system for all
participating companies and organizations, strengthening network
security through correlated alerts, automated triage, and extended
hunt support.
Based in Lincroft, NJ, Brookdale Community College has
approximately 10,000 part- and full-time students and has five
regional locations in Monmouth County. According to Best Community
Colleges, Brookdale was ranked in the top 50 community colleges in
the United States and was named the best community college in New
Jersey.
