Protecting education: key cybersecurity challenges
Ransomware threats are escalating
Schools and universities are increasingly targeted by ransomware, phishing, and supply chain attacks. These threats can disrupt learning, compromise sensitive student and faculty data, and damage institutional trust. Protecting uptime and safeguarding personal information is now a top priority for education leaders.
Security teams are understaffed
Many educational institutions operate with lean IT teams and lack dedicated cybersecurity personnel. This makes it difficult to monitor threats around the clock, respond quickly to incidents, and stay ahead of evolving risks, all while ensuring uninterrupted learning and protecting sensitive student and faculty data.
Compliance pressure from regulators and partners
Educational institutions face strict security and data protection requirements driven by FERPA, PCI, and state privacy laws. Meeting these expectations, while ensuring uninterrupted learning, requires robust, scalable cybersecurity solutions that simplify compliance, support audits, and align with regulatory standards.

Why are schools a top target for cyberattack?

- Limited on-site cybersecurity expertise
