How does Cyber Crucible support FERPA and student-data privacy for schools and universities?

Short answer: Cyber Crucible helps educational institutions two ways: it stops ransomware autonomously without a 24/7 security operations center, and — through FortressAI — it evaluates AI-tool data access on the device so student records and family data do not reach a public AI system by accident. Because analysis is local and no student records are collected, protected educational records stay within the institution's boundary. 
 The two education problems it addresses 
 
 Ransomware without a SOC. Kernel-level prevention stops attacks in under 200 milliseconds with no analysts to hire and no round-the-clock monitoring contract to fund. 
 AI governance for the classroom. FortressAI checks each prompt on the device, so protected educational records and personal family data are not sent to a public AI system — including as training data. 
 
 Vendor-selection notes 
 
 Cyber Crucible acts as a school official / service provider under the institution's direction and does not use student data for any secondary purpose. 
 State student-privacy laws (for example, in California, New York, and Colorado) layer additional vendor obligations; the local-processing, no-collection design supports them. Documentation is available under NDA.
