Industry Statistics
Education Cybersecurity Challenges
Understanding the unique security challenges facing education organizations
Student Data Privacy Violations
Educational institutions store vast amounts of sensitive student information including academic records, financial aid data, and personal information that must be protected under FERPA and other privacy laws
Impact: 67% of educational institutions experienced a data breach in 2023, with average costs of $3.8M per incident and potential federal funding loss for FERPA violations
Educational Technology Vulnerabilities
Widespread use of learning management systems, student information systems, and educational apps creates multiple attack vectors and data sharing complexities
Impact: Educational technology platforms are targeted in 45% of school cyberattacks, often leading to widespread student data exposure and system downtime
Research Data & Intellectual Property Theft
Universities conducting valuable research face targeted attacks from nation-state actors and competitors seeking to steal intellectual property and research data
Impact: Research institutions lose an estimated $12B annually to intellectual property theft, with 78% of attacks targeting academic research and collaboration systems
Limited IT Resources & Budget Constraints
Educational institutions often operate with limited cybersecurity budgets and IT staff, making it difficult to implement and maintain adequate security measures
Impact: Only 32% of schools have dedicated cybersecurity staff, leading to delayed threat detection and response times averaging 180+ days
