More and more, these sophisticated attacks end with colleges paying hefty ransoms for the release of their networks — and they show no sign of slowing down. How can colleges take action?

Download the latest Trends Snapshot, Defending College Computer Networks, for suggestions on how colleges can keep their computer networks safer through tactics, including:
  • Increased user-ID verification measures.
  • Develop and upgrade anti-ransomware technologies.
  • Regularly backup systems to the cloud.
  • Prevent phishing with cyberattack prevention education.
  • Don’t rely on insurance.
  • Implement a “zero-trust” policy.
