Zero-Trust cybersecurity is vital to protecting students and staff - on and off campus. Out of 17 major industries, education ranks last in cybersecurity preparedness.⁴ Educational institutions are entrusted to secure vulnerable data, including personal information about staff and students at every level, from K-12 to higher education.

With the rise of remote learning, the number of cyber attacks on educational institutions also rose. This exposure comes from students and faculty connecting to databases and applications via unsecured networks. Providing cybersecurity solutions to every student, teacher, staff, and parent is essential in order to protect institutions from cyber attacks.

Protecting Educational Institutions from Cyber Threats

While the education industry is vulnerable to every type of cyber threat, there are two that occur most often.

Phishing
Phishing is a sophisticated social engineering attack meant to entice victims into voluntarily revealing sensitive information.
The challenge with phishing is that it can be difficult to spot as methods become more sophisticated.

Ransomware
Ransomware attacks lock users out of their systems until a ransom is paid. This ransom payment is often requested in cryptocurrency to maintain anonymity.
