Did you know that schools are prime targets for ransomware attacks? According to the K12 Security Information Exchange, there were 1,619 cyberattacks on schools between 2016 and 2022. You might think you're an exception to getting hacked, but the Minneapolis School District serves as a stark reminder that no institution is immune.
On March 7, 2023, Minneapolis Public Schools was attacked by ransomware criminals who demanded a $1 million ransom. When the district did not pay, the attackers leaked highly sensitive student information for over 100,000 individuals. The importance of protecting your students' data cannot be overstated.
To help safeguard your students' data, SLP Toolkit has implemented Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This additional layer of security is crucial in protecting your sensitive information and provides you with:
Enhanced Security: 2FA significantly strengthens the protection of your confidential student data by requiring a second form of verification in addition to your password. This makes it much more difficult for unauthorized users to access sensitive information, even if your password is compromised.
Protection Against Data Breaches: With cyber threats continuously evolving, 2FA offers a robust defense against data breaches. As educational institutions are frequently targeted by cyberattacks, protecting your students’ data is our top priority.
Stay protected and ensure your student data is secure with SLP Toolkit's Two-Factor Authentication. We are here to help make this transition as smooth as possible—please reach out to us at hello@slptoolkit.com with any questions.
