Education has recently been ranked 5th as an industry targeted for cyberattacks, according to Nord, a security firm. And, cyber breaches there extend far beyond school walls. Students are directly affected by breaches, which not only can disrupt classes while school systems are fixed, but their data and that of their parents is both very valuable to criminals and easily at risk. This can include family financial data and children’s ID, behavioral and academic data.
