The education challenge

Why education institutions need data protection

Learning depends on reliable systems. Data loss, ransomware, or downtime isn’t an IT problem — it’s a teaching problem.

Ransomware targeting schools

Education is the #2 ransomware target. Attackers know schools depend on systems to function.

Student data protection

GDPR compliance for minors. Protecting student data is a legal and ethical responsibility.

Budget constraints

Schools have limited IT budgets. Cloud needs to be affordable or it won't happen.
