The need to secure your school’s network can be complex and intimidating. But it doesn’t have to be. With a few simple steps, you can provide secure, high-speed network access across schools and districts – both from school-issued devices and personal devices. Innive helps ensure a secure and seamless experience.
Districts and other K12 organizations need to know they can rely on systems that are secure and safe from threats and interruptions to instruction. Cyberattacks are the biggest threat to any institute or organization and are expected to cost its victims about $270 billion annually by 2030, with at least one attack occurring every 2 seconds. More than 90% of cyberattacks are launched through phishing emails. The transformation of remote culture due to the COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to this greatly. Organizations experience many cybersecurity threats on a continuous basis.
The ability of the organization to identify and respond to cybersecurity incidents with effective security controls could mean the difference between a minor disruption and a potential disaster or catastrophic event. Our cybersecurity services provide comprehensive and resilient cybersecurity services and solutions customized to meet your requirements. We help your K12 organization to keep pace with new attacks, advances in security technologies, and compliance.
Monetary losses for targeted schools due to the downtime and resources needed to recover from incidents.
Loss of learning following a cyberattack ranging from three days to three weeks, and full recovery time ranging from two to nine months.
Over two million students affected by ransomware attacks on schools and districts from 2018 to 2023.
Many K12 school districts are rapidly transforming their networks to implement eLearning and other digital programs to enhance student learning across distributed campuses. In addition to improving new educational platforms, there are large amounts of personally identifiable information (PII) and financial data that must be protected. As these networks continue to transform to deliver better learning experiences across campuses, cybersecurity for K12 is often overlooked, making schools prime targets for cybercriminals. Over the years, cyberattacks on K12 schools and districts have steadily increased, and in 2022 that trend only continued. In the first half of 2022 alone, the education sector saw an average of almost 2,000 attacks every week—a 114% increase compared to two years ago*.
Innive offers a multi-staged approach to K12 cybersecurity which focuses on identifying the loopholes, defining the security framework, and addressing high risk vulnerabilities before completing implementation of the security framework.
Our team of experts evaluate the current set up, interview relevant stakeholders and understand the current processes & policies. The primary focus is to identify the gap analysis based on a lifecycle approach.
Based on the Gap Analysis, we recommend a tailormade solution considering your organization’s threat levels and risk appetite. We build the policy and security framework alongside district stakeholders.
Depending on budget and risk levels, we recommend and implement a multi-staged approach of the new policies and framework, addressing the high risk items first and then slowly moving towards a complete framework implementation.
We offer a comprehensive analytical dashboard that caters to both cybersecurity and operational needs of K12 institutions. The dashboard empowers users to monitor and track their environment and the effectiveness of cybersecurity solutions.
The solution is tailored to meet the cybersecurity needs of K12 institutions.
Our team of experts have a unique blend of expertise in cybersecurity and understanding of its implementation specific to K12 institutions.
Unlike other firms, we perform a lifecycle analysis instead of a point-based analysis which ensures coverage of every element within the ecosystem based on end-to-end process evaluation.
Periodic monitoring reveals new gaps due to changes in the environment and will use the same iterative process to ensure your district is prepared and covered for all current and future security threats.
