Education is under growing attack. Nearly 41% of K-12 schools and universities in the U.S. and U.K. have experienced AI-related cyber incidents, making cyber resilience essential to protecting learning and operations.  

Schools are high-value targets. Educational institutions store sensitive student, financial, health, academic and research data, making them attractive to cybercriminals seeking identity theft, ransomware payouts and intellectual property.  

Resilience must replace perimeter-only security. Modern education organizations need to move beyond traditional "castle-and-moat" defenses and adopt a cyber resilience strategy that enables rapid recovery, limits attacker movement and ensures continuity during cyber incidents.
