Education organisations support large, diverse user populations across schools, college sand universities, often with a mix of legacy systems, open access requirements and limited internal security resource. At the same time, they are managing growing digital estates, distributed users and increasing dependence on cloud services.

That makes the sector a continued target for ransomware, account compromise, data theft and service disruption. Cyber resilience is essential to continuity, safeguarding and trust.

The Challenges Facing Education

Large and varied user populations with broad access requirements

Legacy systems and uneven control across estates

Increased ransomware, phishing and credential-based attacks

Limited in-house security capacity and competing priorities
