ThreatHunter.ai Unveils Emergency Cybersecurity Initiative for California Community Colleges: 40 Percent Discount, 24/7 Protection, Immediate Response

BREA, Calif., April 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- In direct response to the rising wave of ransomware attacks and credential theft targeting higher education, ThreatHunter.ai has launched a statewide cybersecurity initiative for California's community colleges. The program offers 24/7 real-time threat hunting, mitigation, and remediation for 40 percent off standard pricing, giving schools the ability to stop breaches before they cause harm, regardless of budget constraints.

Community colleges are under siege. In just the past 18 months, attackers have disrupted financial aid systems, stolen student and faculty records, and locked down networks for ransom across the country. Institutions in New York, Illinois, and California have all made headlines — not for innovation, but for becoming victims.

These attacks are not random. They are deliberate, methodical, and aimed at the weakest point in the state's education system: underfunded schools with overworked IT departments and limited access to modern cyber defense.

ThreatHunter.ai is stepping in to close that gap.

This new program gives California community colleges full access to a 24/7 team of US-based threat hunters backed by Norbert, ThreatHunter.ai's proprietary AI platform. The system doesn't wait for something to go wrong. It actively searches for signs of compromise, lateral movement, credential misuse, and known or emerging threats. And when something is found, the team of human Threat Hunters and Norbert acts, locking down sessions, providing direct remediation, guidance, and reducing or eliminating damage.

"Colleges aren't losing data because they're reckless," said Evan Tremper, Vice President at ThreatHunter.ai. "They're losing data and being attacked at an alarming rate because the tools they're given are inadequate and the staffing they need isn't funded. We're changing that right now."

This is offer is available only in California, direct from ThreatHunter.ai.

The economics are hard to ignore. A mid-level cybersecurity analyst in California comes with a true annual cost well over $180,000 when accounting for salary, CALPERS retirement contributions, healthcare, paid time off, and administrative overhead. That's one person working a single shift, five days a week.

In contrast, a college with 1,200 faculty and staff can deploy ThreatHunter.ai's full AI platform and human threat hunting team for $3.50 per user, per month. That's $50,400 per year for 24/7 protection, active threat hunting, and real-time mitigation.

Community colleges manage enormous volumes of sensitive data, from financial aid and Social Security numbers to staff payroll and research. When these systems are compromised, the cost is more than financial. Student futures are delayed. Staff lose confidence. Trust in the institution is damaged.

And while attackers scale up, many schools are being told to scale back.

This program was created so that no California community college has to choose between securing their institution and staying within budget.

"If a college chooses not to participate in this program," Tremper added, "they're either leaving themselves exposed or wasting budget trying to build something they can't maintain. We're not here to compete with internal teams. We're here to be the force multiplier they've been waiting for."
