About this talk

Ransomware attacks continue to plague K–12 schools nationwide, and they’re not slowing down anytime soon. In the pandemic, more than 1,000 educational institutions have fallen victim to ransomware, according to a report by security firm Armor. With most schools implementing some form of online instruction this school year, these attacks have only increased in volume and speed, and their impact is much more significant. In addition to the ransom itself, these attacks can exact a heavy cost: school district operation disruption, remediation costs, and job implication. In this BrightTalk session, Edu tech and IT will learn: How ransomware is surging in a remote/online learning environment? What is the fundamental mind shift in network design required? What to do before, during, and after a ransomware attack with Zero Trust solution? Why you shouldn’t and cannot pay ransoms? What is Ransomware Kill Switch and how it can protect you? How to stop ransomware propagation in seconds?
