According to Microsoft's Cyber Signals report, educational institutions are uniquely vulnerable to cyber threats, facing an average of 2,507 attempted cyber attacks weekly.
Educational environments are particularly challenging to secure, as they encompass a mix of legacy and modern systems, necessitating stringent protocols for data protection.
The Microsoft Threat Intelligence team warns that attackers target educational institutions because they are underfunded and understaffed, leading to an increased risk of cyber incidents.
As of early 2024, the education sector was the third most targeted industry, highlighting the significant risks present in protecting sensitive information within these institutions.
