Keiron Holyome, Vice President (VP) of UKI, Middle East and Africa at BlackBerry said, "The education sector continues to be an attractive target for cybercrime."
He adds, "As we have seen again by the latest attack from Vice Society on both US and UK schools, criminals are increasingly attracted by stores of sensitive student data, as well as financial information, parent and investor details, and, too often, a lack of attention to and investment in cybersecurity."
Cybersecurity investments
Keiron Holyome continues, "To ensure the continuity of education, especially in the context of remote learning, we encourage the government to invest in cybersecurity for the education sector, considering the impact on individuals’ well-being and ensuring security, productivity, and user experience."
He further said, "If these devices become infected with a virus or malware, they can expose sensitive personal information that students share during the learning process. This attack should be an alarm bell for the public sector, a demonstration of the need to secure every endpoint. Even the smallest chink in the nation's digital armour could spell disaster."
