Schools have historically been regarded as secure havens for students; a place where they can learn and develop in a protected setting. With the advent of the digital age, however, students and faculty at K-12 schools and universities face increasing risks to their private data. Schools deal with an abundance of sensitive data, including pupil records (including birth dates, addresses, and contact information), medical information, financial information, and employment records for teachers and administrators. Hackers and cybercriminals increasingly target educational institutions to hold sensitive data for ransom in exchange for monetary benefit or to steal it and sell it on the Dark Web. Educational institutions must implement robust cybersecurity programmes to safeguard the school, students, and faculty.
