New Era of Cyber Attacks Requires a Multi-layered Security Strategy for Schools

K-12 schools today are facing a rapidly rising cyber threat that is leading many in the education industry to consider a decisive change of course in cybersecurity. To put this risk in perspective, Chief Information Strategy Officer Alan Jones has written an article published in The Journal in which he proposes what this course change should be. Specifically, he breaks down why schools have emerged as a particularly vulnerable target for theft and ransomware, why the prevention-based approach that many in the IT industry have relied on is flawed, and how establishing a higher-quality set of best practices, like network security monitoring, endpoint security monitoring, and deception technology implementation, offer one solution.
