The number of cyberattacks targeting educational institutions is on the rise, with schools becoming attractive targets for cybercriminals.
Factors contributing to schools' vulnerability include dependence on technology, valuable data, scarce resources, and low user awareness.
Successful cyberattacks on schools can disrupt education, impact academic performance, and cause inconvenience for students and parents.
To protect schools from cyberthreats, robust security measures, such as using dedicated cybersecurity software and conducting staff training, are recommended.
