Education

Whether you are a school, college, university, or a training center – cybersecurity needs to be one of the topics high on the agenda during boardroom meetings for these educational institutes.

Education institutions need to make cybersecurity a priority. Despite the sector facing major challenges such as a lack of staffing and a lack of funding and resources, cyberattacks are no less frequent or less severe in education. In fact, they seem to be gaining ground in prevalence year-on-year as instances of breaches in schools and higher education are widely reported.

We continuously hear about universities and other educational faculty networks being compromised with ransomware, examination papers and tests being leaked, student information system personal data leak etc. What is worrying is the data we are talking about are related to minors and that is really worrying. Education institutes need to practice cybersecurity controls and measure like any critical organization does whilst protecting their internal staff and personnel and the students and visitors that utilize their resources.

The education sector will always be a prime target to hackers. Mainly because the attack surface is so large. The sheer size of the industry, and with it the potential of great financial gain, data theft and espionage, makes it a prime target for cybercriminals. And anyone, from students to employees, faculty members and third-party providers is a prospective target. Most of the education institutes follow a similar network architecture and as illustrated present a wide attack surface.
