Schools and colleges are facing an alarming increase in cybersecurity incidents. Some hackers seek ransoms while others see value in scooping up personally identifiable information to sell to identity thieves.

In addition to the theft of PII, higher education institutions can be the target of large-scale, sophisticated attacks designed to steal trade secrets and intellectual property. The commercial sector is heavily connected to the leading research in science and technology that stems from colleges and universities. Thus, the security posture of higher education institutions is of great importance on a national level.
