Data from Microsoft has shown that education as an industry accounted for 60% of reported malware encounters in June - affecting more than 5 million devices in just 30 days.

Vendors serving education and the security community must work hand-in-hand with districts to keep these new digital environments safe.

Which leads us to perhaps the biggest risk to our education system as we know it, and the foremost question on students' minds: Will there ever be another snow day?
