Education institutions and EdTech platforms are increasingly under attack due to the valuable personal data they manage. From student PII to test records and payment details, these systems are rich targets for attackers. With the rise in remote learning, cloud applications, and connected campuses, the attack surface has grown rapidly. Unfortunately, many schools and EdTech vendors lack the internal expertise or resources to continuously assess those risks. Our education and EdTech penetration testing services help identify critical vulnerabilities—before they’re used in the wild. We simulate real-world threats across web, cloud, wireless, and user-driven attack paths to keep your data safe and your systems resilient.
See why threats are rising in our latest blog post on education and EdTech security trends.
Students, faculty, and staff often reuse passwords across multiple systems. We simulate credential stuffing attacks to test how vulnerable your education platforms really are.
We often find misconfigured classroom tools or school admin panels exposed online. These portals can leak data or allow unauthorized access to back-end systems.
Attackers impersonate school officials or teachers to phish parents and students. Our education penetration testing services evaluate your awareness and ability to respond.
Flat networks in labs, libraries, or student centers allow easy lateral movement. We test how attackers could pivot from one compromised system to others across your campus.
We test public-facing portals, cloud-hosted EdTech systems, and school websites for vulnerabilities. These external penetration tests help identify exposed services before attackers do.
We simulate what could happen if a student device was compromised. Our internal education penetration testing reveals lateral movement, privilege escalation, and access to sensitive academic resources.
We test guest, faculty, and student Wi-Fi segmentation. Wireless attacks are common in dorms and campuses, so our education penetration testing services ensure wireless isolation and security.
From LMS platforms to school portals, we test for injection flaws, broken access control, and exposed APIs. These EdTech penetration tests help secure both frontend and backend logic.
We simulate phishing emails to students, faculty, and IT staff. Our tests evaluate whether your people will recognize and report social engineering threats.
We assess your use of Microsoft 365, Google Workspace for Education, and other cloud platforms. Our education penetration testing checks for over-permissioned accounts, file exposure, and identity abuse.
We test badge systems, locked classrooms, and device access. Campuses and institutions need to control physical access as much as digital.
Red team engagements combine phishing, rogue devices, and stealthy movement. Our education-focused red teams simulate advanced attacks against academic infrastructure.
We simulate ransomware and nation-state groups targeting schools and EdTech platforms. These advanced simulations test your full response process—from detection to containment.
We assess and document your controls for FERPA, COPPA, ISO 27001, and K–12 cybersecurity requirements. These reviews support audits, funding, and student safety.
We help education clients build long-term security programs, from tabletop exercises to staff training and vCISO services. Education security isn’t one-size-fits-all—we tailor it to your mission.
Adversim has delivered education and EdTech penetration testing services for public school systems, private universities, and national EdTech platforms. We understand the challenges of protecting digital learning environments, and we tailor each engagement to reflect your operations and risks.
