Make your staff your last line of defence and not the weakest part of your armour.
Did you know that 91% of successful data breaches started with a spear phishing attack?
Like any organisation, schools are totally reliant on their technology and the data held within. Holding large amounts of student and staff data, including parent contact details, banking information and more, makes education organisations a prime target for cybercriminals. Social engineering is the number one security threat to any organisation, be it corporate or education. The alarming growth in sophisticated cyberattacks makes this problem only worse, as cybercriminals target the softest part of your defences; your staff. Hackers have realised it’s easier to find someone to open an attachment containing malicious content or click on a malicious link, than to exploit technical vulnerabilities within computer software.
So how can you protect your school?
Old-school security awareness training doesn’t cut it anymore. Astec provide a comprehensive security awareness training solution platform, using an industry leading provider, designed to test and educate your staff with a range of simulations, training content and reports, that will look to dramatically reduce the risk to your school for potential data exposure and attacks, in a proven ‘rinse and repeat’, easily digestible format.
“People are used to having a technology solution but social engineering bypasses all technologies, including firewalls. Technology is critical, but we have to look at people and processes. Social engineering is a form of hacking that uses influence tactics.”
