Universities and NGOs are often targeted by ransomware attacks, which can paralyze critical systems, disrupt online learning or donation platforms and compromise valuable data. These attacks can significantly affect both educational and nonprofit missions.
Prevent ransomware attacks - deploy strong backup systems, regularly update software and educate staff on cybersecurity best practices.
Key Dangers & Risks:
Service downtime. Ransomware can lock critical systems, affecting learning platforms or donor services.
Data loss. Important research, student records or donor data may be encrypted or destroyed.
Financial burden. Ransom demands and recovery costs can strain limited university or NGO budgets.
