Students Underestimate Risks of a Cyber Attack

Educational Organisations Continue to be Victims of Cybersecurity Attacks in 2017

When we visualize the types of industries that are victimized by cybersecurity attacks, we often think of banks and financial institutions, healthcare organizations, law firms or any large corporation with deep pockets. Yet the education industry, both K12 and higher education, are increasingly victimized as well.

K12 Students – their naivety makes them ideal targets

Educational Institutes are Ideal Targets for Hackers

For K12 students, cybersecurity threats and malware are irrelevant or unknown concepts and their naivety makes them ideal targets.

On the other hand, higher education is about the sharing of ideas and collaboration with just about anyone across the globe. Thus the networks of these intuitions are far less guarded. This is probably why according to DataLossDB, an organization that tracks cyber breaches across the world, 9% of all breaches within the U.S. were targeted at universities.

Cybercriminals actively targeting schools with malware threats

Universities and other higher education establishments are at risk from data breaches and malware threats

From a cybercriminal's perspective, schools and universities represent a very attractive target. The personal and financial data stored on university data systems are valuable to cybercriminals.

The implications of any data theft are huge: reputational, legal, economic and operational. Future funding may be affected, as well as possible loss of future student fees and associated income.
