Education and research institutions are more vulnerable than ever and a significant target for cybercriminals. Indeed, in these challenging times, when more online education occurs, and teachers and students often access home applications, the risks only increase. The chance of a data breach is high, and the consequences are incalculable due to the large amount of confidential data from students, teachers, and third parties held by a school or university.
With Conscia Security Services for Education, you have a focus on delivering the best education. We make sure you can do this safely.
High costs
If your organization is compromised and security incidents occur, this can entail sky-high costs; an average of 3 million, so let the Cost of Health Care Data Breach – studies show, conducted by IBM and the Ponemon Institute.
Much time needed to isolate incidents
Security incidents are so precious because of the time it takes organizations to isolate incidents. Often an incident is only discovered when the attackers have already penetrated the network very deeply and have had the time to snoop around for a long time: an average of 200 days.
Additional challenges
Besides, research and educational institutions face several challenges:
- Students are a weak link (low awareness of online security)
- Tight IT budgets
- Lack of insight into the devices used in the context of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
- Shortage of cybersecurity specialists in IT teams (resources)
