As campus safety professionals, protecting students and staff goes beyond physical security — cybersecurity is more crucial than ever. Cyberattacks like malware, ransomware, and phishing are on the rise, especially in education and healthcare.
Here are a few key terms to get you started:
- Malware: Malicious software that can disrupt systems or steal data.
- Ransomware: A type of malware that locks data hostage until a ransom is paid.
- Phishing: Fraudulent attempts to trick users into revealing sensitive info.
- VPN: Keeps your online activities private and secure by encrypting data.
- Firewall: A barrier that blocks malicious traffic on your network.
In 2020 alone, there were over 1,300 cybersecurity incidents reported at educational institutions. With remote learning and digital resources more common, staying informed is essential to protect your campus from these hidden threats.
Stay vigilant. Stay safe. 🛡️
