Importance of Cybersecurity in Education

Why should you join, you ask?

2022 has seen the education sector actively targeted by cybercriminals. The rush to adopt e-learning has led to an increase in cyber-attacks in this field; institutions face an average of 1,605 weekly attacks and less than 30% of IT admins believe their security measures are adequate to deal with attacks. Frequent cyberattacks on educational institutions call for an enhanced cyber transformation to protect your users and networks. This would be impossible without maintaining security defenses through your IT staff. In the first edition of Hexnode Live, The Importance of Cybersecurity in the Education Sector, join our panel of experts as they discuss how to enable IT admins and keep your users protected from costly data breaches. This live session dives into:

How cyberattacks adversely affect institutions – right from student enrollments, admissions and finance.
How colleges and universities emerge as prime targets for cybercriminals.
Strategies on improving your educational institutions’ security infrastructure.
How Hexnode helps IT admins achieve endpoint compliance, detect threats and ensure minimal impact on end-user experience for students and staff, in the case of a cyberattack.
