Data security is a top priority across industries. For the education sector in particular, this touches on both the need to protect devices as well as sensitive information and user privacy (student, staff, and family personal information).
With the current landscape in which schools are operating, where they are enabling learning in-person, virtually, and through personal devices, what are the top cybersecurity risks impacting this sector? More importantly, what strategies can decision-makers adopt to deliver secure learning across platforms?
This eBook discusses ransomware, the greatest vulnerability in the education sector - as well as other key threats - along with policies and best practices that are helping educational institutions remain secure in the classroom and online.
