Education

Educational institutions (K–12, plus college/graduate and professional/technical schools) are among the most aggressively-breached entities with almost 159 million records exposed in more than 1,300 publicly-reported events during the period from 2005 to mid-2013, according to the Data Privacy Clearinghouse. Student records include critical Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as social security numbers, financial transaction data, confidential academic results and more. Reputation consequences are significant based on the public’s perception of trust in educational institutions as well as customers (students) who remain unaware — and are later surprised to learn — that their information is vulnerable.
