2025's Most Hostile Cyber Battleground: The Classroom
November 20th, 2025
❓What:
New cyber intelligence pinpoints the education industry as the most targeted industry globally this year, with more than 4,000 weekly attacks per organization (yes, you read that right).
This figure represents a sustained 24% year-over-year increase in weekly attacks (~3,500 weekly attacks in 2024).
Because educational institutions often lack the resources for robust security counter-measures, adversaries have made them the target of attack, viewing them as "target rich, cyber poor" (as coined by CISA's K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative).
