EDUCATION SECTOR IS MORE AT RISK NOW THAN EVER.
Cyber attacks against Indian schools have been on the rise in recent years. Educational Institutions may believe that hackers are only interested in companies and government agencies and therefore consider themselves to be at low risk. But hackers are increasingly targeting schools because they have huge database of students and parents and often have weaker cybersecurity measures than larger enterprises.
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and few minutes of cyber incident to ruin it. So “Don’t be the next victim”
