Cybersecurity in Education

With the continued increase of cyberthreats against the education sector, having the right IAM solution is more important than ever.

The education sector has been a key target for cyberattacks, with phishing, ransomware, and denial-of-service attacks growing in frequency and ferocity. Many institutions struggle to defend against surging cyberattacks, as the shift to remote and online learning presented cybercriminals with new opportunities to attack.

Addressing cyber threats facing the education sector requires new and better solutions, including Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), more effective anti-phishing defenses, and approaches that reduce the impacts and risks of ransomware attacks. It's clear that having the right Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution is necessary to safeguard institutions, their data, and their users.
