Whitepaper

Spam in K-12

K-12 educational institutions are high-value targets for spam and phishing campaigns because they combine large populations of less security-aware users with sensitive data including student records, financial information, and staff credentials. This whitepaper examines the spam and phishing threat landscape facing schools and districts, drawing on data to characterize the volume, sophistication, and targeting patterns of attacks against educational networks. IT administrators responsible for protecting students and staff will find guidance on the email security controls, user awareness strategies, and endpoint protections that reduce exposure without creating barriers that interfere with the educational mission of the institution.
