In 2023, the frequency of cyberattacks on educational institutions surged by 44% compared to the previous year, averaging 2,300 attacks per week. These alarming statistics underscore the urgent need for action. Educational institutions are increasingly becoming prime targets for cybercriminals due to the wealth of sensitive data they hold—such as student records, financial information, and research data—and their often low awareness of cybersecurity risks.

With the growing reliance on technology for hybrid, remote, and in-person education, cybersecurity has become essential for safeguarding the educational sector. It's not just about protecting data, but also about ensuring a stable and secure learning environment. Cyberattacks can compromise the privacy of both students and educators, making device and data protection a top priority for maintaining this environment.

Moreover, amidst challenges such as staff shortages, limited funding, and resource constraints, educational institutions face heightened threats from cyberattacks. To protect data and ensure uninterrupted operations, it is imperative that educational institutions prioritize cybersecurity and comply with international security standards.
