Colleges Face New Cyber Security Threats

For years, hackers mostly attacked K-12 schools because they were easy targets. Colleges felt safe because they had better security teams and larger budgets. Those days are coming to an end.

Cybercriminals now see universities as high value targets. They are using sophisticated methods to steal access credentials and personal data from students and staff.

Schools are turning to artificial intelligence to fight back. AI tools help IT departments spot suspicious logins and block attacks before hackers cause real damage.
