Title: Ransomware – Education is Now the #1 Most Targeted Industry
Date: Thursday, May 25 at 11:00 AM PST / 2:00 PM EST
Presenters: Jeff Teitelbaum (Sr. Solutions Engineer) and Daniel Eickhoff (K-12 Cybersecurity Specialist)
Ransomware is wreaking havoc on schools across the US, as school districts are now the #1 most targeted industry for cyberattacks. The combination of schools being lucrative targets for cybercriminals due to the substantial amount of sensitive student data, and the fact that many school districts are vulnerable to attacks because they don’t have the bandwidth or resources to operate at the level of cybersecurity that is required, creates a prime opportunity for hackers to make a quick payday.
We’ll discuss:
- Why are school districts being targeted more than any other organizations?
- Understanding common patterns and tactics used by cybercriminals
- Real-world examples of ransomware attacks on school districts and their consequences
- Steps that school districts can take to protect themselves
- Best practices for developing a comprehensive incident response plan
