Educational institutions are facing an increasing number of cybersecurity threats such as malware and ransomware. This is due to the high target placed on them by:

• Large volumes of sensitive data such as student records and financial information

• Outdated IT infrastructure

• Limited IT budgets and resources for cybersecurity

• High pressure to pay ransoms to avoid disruption to learning

The above leaves educational institutions and school districts vulnerable to breaches and cyberattacks. To help mitigate this risk, the ThreatLocker Zero Trust platform delivers top-tier security. For example, ThreatLocker Allowlisting was developed in response to a cyberattack on a prep school, which needed a robust, proactive defense.

Key benefits of ThreatLocker for educational institutions:

• Proactive approach to cybersecurity

• Prevent weaponization of legitimate tools

• Simplify admin controls and application management

• Restrict application hopping

• Secure storage devices from unauthorized access
