Title: Education Sector Faces Growing Threat of Cyberattacks, Reveals ESET Report
Summary:
The education sector is increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to the lack of cybersecurity measures, as revealed in a new study by ESET. Despite the high frequency of cyberattacks, many educational institutions do not have adequate protections such as antivirus software and strong password policies. Budget constraints and misconceptions about cyber insurance contribute to the vulnerability of schools, with a significant percentage operating without a cybersecurity budget. Experts warn that without proper measures in place, education organizations are at risk of severe financial and operational impacts from cyber threats.
