Helping School District's Secure their Email and Networks with Self-Learning AI
2:00 PM - 2:55 PM
Cameron County Room
The education sector continues to be one of the most targeted industries as cyber criminals continue to use more sophisticated targeting practices. In the first six months of 2023, educational institutions saw a 179% increase in attacks as comparison to the same time period in 2022. Many of these cyber-attacks shifted to targeting K-12 organizations. Educational institutions need to protect large amounts of proprietary information pertaining to their students, faculty, and staff. Therefore, threat actors have found that targeting the educational sector is a low risk/high reward scheme making it an attractive industry to target. Darktrace has been building a new model for cybersecurity since 2013. Today, Darktrace is a global leader in cybersecurity AI, delivering the essential cybersecurity platform to protect organizations today and for an ever-changing future. ?
