Shibaura Institute of Technology Cybersecurity Case Study

This case study details the Shibaura Institute of Technology's (SIT) efforts to enhance its cybersecurity measures following a ransomware attack. The institute transitioned to an all-flash storage system, specifically the NetApp AFF A400, which incorporates advanced anti-ransomware capabilities. The implementation of these technologies allows SIT to quickly identify threats and create Snapshot copies of data, ensuring rapid recovery in the event of an attack. The case study outlines the multilayered security measures adopted by SIT, including the use of NetApp ONTAP FPolicy to filter ransomware-related filename extensions. It emphasizes the importance of continuous investment in threat prevention and the ability to detect suspicious behavior promptly. Additionally, the study highlights the educational reforms at SIT aimed at improving student learning experiences and preparing graduates for the global workforce. Overall, the case study illustrates how SIT is modernizing its IT infrastructure to bolster security and support educational advancements.
