Cybersecurity Challenges in Education: Protecting Sensitive Data in a Vulnerable Environment
Wednesday February 26, 2025 11:00am - 11:50am CST
Dogwood
Educational institutions face significant cybersecurity challenges due to unique network infrastructures and security policies, often made vulnerable by users bypassing protections. Recent incidents, such as a North Korean cyberattack using an online game to spread malware, highlight the risks posed by seemingly harmless activities, like students disabling antivirus software to play games on school laptops. While some educational institutions have taken steps to secure their systems, others have seen vulnerabilities exposed through inadequate controls, especially in research labs that store valuable and sensitive data. With schools increasingly targeted by ransomware and data breaches involving personal and financial information, it’s crucial to address these vulnerabilities. Join this session to explore how educational institutions can strengthen cybersecurity defenses against evolving threats.
