Modern learning meets rising risk
Education is facing one of the most disruptive eras in its history. As institutions balance hybrid learning, data privacy mandates, and limited IT resources, threats are rising fast:
- Education is now the #1 most targeted public sector for ransomware attacks.
- 65% of K–12 districts report unfilled IT or cybersecurity positions.
- Over $94B is spent annually on IT and digital learning — yet many schools still struggle to maintain compliance with FERPA and CMMC 2.0.
Students, parents, and educators now expect more than connectivity — they expect safety, reliability, and transparency. Schools must protect networks, data, and physical spaces without sacrificing instruction time or learning continuity.

What are the top three security challenges impacting the education industry?
As administrators, it is of the utmost importance to maintain a sense of security, fostering an environment that is conducive to students’ sense of wellbeing and their continued growth and development. The need for converged security measures is essential to protecting school campuses from physical breaches and cyber threats, alike. Some of the top physical and cyber security challenges impacting the industry include: Active shooter/unauthorized access - Between the 2020–21 and 2021–22 academic years, school shootings jumped 124%. Physical access controls remain a top priority for administrators as K-12 and higher education schools continue to struggle to maintain perimeter security. Exploited vulnerabilities - Weaknesses in network systems and software serve as entry points for cybercriminals or disgruntled students who seek confidential data or to disrupt internal systems. Data breaches - Data breaches can cause harm to both the institution’s reputation and to individuals, enabling ongoing issues such as identity theft and financial fraud.
