Education is being targeted at scale — and identity is now the front door.
Join NYSERNet and Telarus for a practical cybersecurity session focused on what actually worked (and didn’t) in 2025 and how education institutions can strengthen detection, response, and recovery heading into 2026. You’ll learn:
- Why identity is now the #1 attack path in education environments
- How ransomware incidents really start — and why encryption is often the final step
- What 2025 breach data tells us about third-party risk and vendor access
- The actionable next steps (not theory) that lead to a 2026 readiness roadmap
This is not a product pitch. It’s a real-world conversation about ransomware, identity weakness, data breaches, and what to prioritize next.
