Higher-ed IT leaders are constantly determining the best ways to protect campus networks. Then came COVID–and along with it, a host of new cybersecurity threats requiring a robust network defense.
With the initial move to online learning–and now with online and hybrid learning becoming a more permanent option for many students–came increased network security threats from remote and potentially unsecure logins to campus networks.
Nearly half of all global education institutions were targeted by ransomware in 2020, with 58 percent of higher-ed IT leaders saying that cybercriminals succeeded in accessing their data.
