While the transition has forced many schools to implement innovative solutions, it has also revealed stark vulnerabilities in their cybersecurity strategies, which is especially concerning given that schools have become a new target for cyber criminals.

It's worth noting that all these duties should be scaled according to the impact of the pandemic: if the school system is supporting three times its usual capacity, all cybersecurity measures need to perform at the same level.

The digital transformation in education is set to be a long-term change, and schools need cybersecurity processes and technology that actively evolve with the "New normal" cyber sphere.

The COVID-19 crisis has brought to light shortcomings in the education sphere when it comes to cybersecurity it also presents an opportunity for schools to integrate solutions that can better protect systems and students now, and in the future.

Acknowledging the new climate, striving for in-depth cybersecurity knowledge, and building cybersecurity maturity with comprehensive tools such as UEM are the core building blocks for schools to shield against growing digital threats.
