A Research University Maps a Surface Nobody Owns Centrally.

A leading Türkiye-based research university with tens of thousands of students, where each department, research lab and student organization runs its own infrastructure. Tools that assume a central inventory had nothing to start from.

Every Department Runs Its Own Infrastructure.

A multi-campus university across engineering, the sciences, the humanities and graduate research, with thousands of academic and administrative staff and research collaborations around the world.

Its IT footprint grew over decades. Departments run their own websites, labs stand up infrastructure for individual projects, and student organizations register subdomains. The starting inventory was incomplete by design.

The inventory is always behind the campus.

Departments add domains without coordination. Research projects leave systems running after the project ends, and student-organization subdomains pile up.

Adversaries, including nation-state groups after research in technology and the life sciences, go looking for exactly that gap.

Discovery as the Core Workflow.

The university runs the Deepinfo Platform so that discovery never stops and a small team does not have to chase it.

  1. 01

    Find

    Asset Discovery keeps surfacing infrastructure across departments that nobody listed.

  2. 02

    Scan

    Continuous Scanning covers the full discovered inventory, with each asset scanned the same way.

  3. 03

    Check staff email

    Employee Email Breach Monitoring checks institutional addresses against breach data.

  4. 04

    Catch fake portals

    Fraudulent Domain Monitoring flags impersonation around application and donor cycles, and confirmed domains go to Managed Takedown.

What Changed at University Scale.

Inventory Gap Narrowed

Discovery surfaced departmental and research-lab infrastructure that was missing from the inventory.

Monitoring Without the Headcount

Thousands of public-facing assets stay under continuous monitoring without continuous attention from a small security team.

Phishing Handled Cycle After Cycle

Application-cycle phishing domains are caught and routed to Managed Takedown.

Evidence on Record

Each finding keeps its evidence and its state history, which the security team draws on for institutional data-protection reporting.

Cross-Department Visibility

The central security team sees all departments in rolled-up dashboards.
