Public schools are being targeted by Cybercriminals

In this episode, Eric Lankford and Doug Levin join us to shine a light on the disturbing and dangerous cyber threats academic institutions are facing. Cyberattacks are a significant and growing threat to our nation’s K-12 public schools, students, and employees. There were ~350 publicly disclosed cybersecurity incidents that impacted K-12 schools in 2019. They primarily consisted of data breaches resulting in unauthorized disclosures of student/staff data, ransomware and other malware attacks, phishing attacks, and other social engineering scams as well as denial-of-service attacks. With only 5% of surveyed IT teams feeling that student data is at high risk. <10% of the annual IT budgets allocated to keeping data, systems, and users safe online, more must be done to help these under-resourced and ill-prepared schools to protect our children and their identities online! These gentlemen share what they are doing to help and why, and how the rest of us can step up to help!
