Protect academic institutions’ diverse community of administrators, educators, students, and staff against data breaches.
The Education/Research sector experienced the highest number of attacks, with an average of 2179 attacks per organization per week.
Education rose to second place for the first time, garnering 21% of breaches.
The average school spends less than 8% of its IT budget on cybersecurity, with one in five schools committing less than 1%.
HOW ENZOIC HELPS
Colleges and universities, but also K-12 schools and educational programs are lucrative targets for threat actors due to the wealth of data in a sprawling network with legacy systems and limited cyber resources. When faculty, staff, parents and students use compromised passwords, it’s impossible to keep the bad actors out.
According to the findings in the Verizon DBIR Report, stolen credentials were responsible for as many as 31% of breaches within the educational sector. This alarming statistic underscores the necessity for more robust security measures to protect sensitive information in academic institutions.
