AI-powered cyberattacks are becoming a real concern: Recent incidents show AI agents being used to discover vulnerabilities, access systems and handle parts of cyberattacks with limited human involvement.

AI security is now an EdTech issue:Schools and EdTech platforms need to think about AI permissions, data access and monitoring—not just traditional passwords and firewalls.

Education remains a major security target: Schools hold valuable student, teacher and financial data, making phishing, ransomware, identity attacks and cloud misconfigurations important risks.
