Overview
Cybersecurity Threats to K-12 Schools and Libraries Are Increasing
K-12 schools have seen a 393% increase in ransomware attacks since 2016. One of the most significant factors putting K-12 education institutions at risk is in the rich digital assets and under-resourced cybersecurity infrastructure. Common attack types used against schools and libraries include phishing, ransomware, distributed denial-of-service, and video conferencing disruptions.
LevelBlue offers K-12 schools and libraries cyber assessment and advisory services to improve cyber readiness and keep student, faculty, and staff data safe. Our suite of managed network and security services are supported by 24/7 monitored network and security operations centers to prevent or mitigate cyberattacks and safeguard your school’s digital environment.
