The frequency of ransomware attacks targeting educational institutions has surged significantly over the past year, displaying no indications of slowing down. According to Microsoft, a staggering 97% of ransomware infections manage to infiltrate a system within a mere four hours, with some achieving this in as little as 45 minutes.
Exploiting the vulnerabilities of educational institutions’ often outdated systems and their limited cybersecurity resources, threat actors recognise the challenges these institutions face in safeguarding both legacy systems and student data. Concurrently, insurers have recently heightened their criteria for qualifying for cyber insurance policies, posing an additional formidable hurdle for administrators and IT personnel.
Silverfort extends modern identity security controls such as Conditional Access and MFA (using your existing solutions like Microsoft Entra ID), to resources that couldn’t be protected before, such as legacy applications – including command-line interfaces, service accounts (non-human identities), critical infrastructure, and more – without having to modify them.
Learn how to safeguard your organisation by joining Data#3 and Silverfort to hear about our Better Together story. Joining us also, Mike Smith, Director of ICT at Immanuel College, in Adelaide, will talk about the advantages he’s seen from the organisation’ s integration with Silverfort, helping extend the capabilities of their Microsoft licenses.
