THE CLOCK IS TICKINGTime is of the essence. You have on average 19 minutes

to detect an initial intrusion, investigate it, and eject

the attacker from the network before sensitive data can

be stolen or destroyed.

INCREASING ATTACKSIn 2018, there were 122 publicly-disclosed

cybersecurity incidents that affected 119 public

K-12 education agencies across 38 states. Even

more alarming—those are just the attacks that were

reported.

DATA BREACHESSchools digitally manage more data than they ever

have before, making them a ripe and valuable target

for hackers and phishers. Social security numbers,

test scores, birthdates, medical records, guardian

data, and more are stored in potentially vulnerable

locations that need the strongest protection possible.

REASONS YOU NEED UNIFIEDTHREAT MANAGEMENT

There is no debating it. Schools are now a primary target for hackers and other cyber criminals. Here are

five reasons why it might be time to upgrade your current firewall to ENA NetShield UTM, ENA’s

comprehensive unified threat management solution.

COMPLIANCEYou have school boards members, stakeholders,

and parents who want to know what action is

being taken to protect precious data. They need

to know threats are being given their proper

weight and consideration. For superintendents

and IT directors, accomplishing this mandate

requires high visibility tools, including real-time

dashboards and reporting.

EXTERNAL THREATSWhile cybersecurity breaches can originate from

within the district, most attacks are executed by

external sources. Hackers are scattered across the

country and throughout the world. As of 2019,

almost 350 significant cyber incidents have been

directed from areas outside the United States.

perhaps you are confident in your internal
