Securing Educational Institutions
Cyberattacks Targeting Educational Institutions
Educational institutions are becoming prime targets for cybercriminals due to the vast amounts of sensitive data they store. With every new student, teacher, and staff member, schools accumulate confidential information like personal details, financial records, and salaries. Without a robust security strategy, schools risk exposing this critical data, compromising the safety and reputation of both individuals and the institution.
