As the calendar turns to another school year in 2023, the education landscape is evolving rapidly, with technology playing an increasingly pivotal role in the learning process. Especially on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the resurgence of new mutations, the possibility of remote education still playing a prevalent role going forward is certainly on the table.

While this digital transformation towards increased virtual learning has brought immense benefits, it has also opened the door to an increased threat of cyberattacks. And although the Biden administration has attempted to talk tough on making cybersecurity a higher priority matter, to put it simply, they have not done nearly enough, as already in 2023, 48 school districts have been hit by ransomware attacks, which is three more than in all of 2022.
