Why is penetration testing important for educational institutions?
Penetration testing is crucial for educational institutions because it helps identify and fix vulnerabilities in their IT systems before they can be exploited by cybercriminals. With the vast amount of sensitive data they handle, schools and universities are prime targets for cyberattacks, making proactive security measures like penetration testing essential.
What types of cyber threats do educational institutions face?
Educational institutions face a variety of cyber threats, including phishing attacks, ransomware and data breaches. These threats can disrupt operations, lead to the loss of sensitive data, and result in significant financial and reputational damage.

Penetration testing helps educational institutions comply with regulations like GDPR, and other data protection laws by identifying areas where their IT systems may be vulnerable. Addressing these vulnerabilities not only improves security but also helps avoid potential fines and legal issues.
