Solution
Ransomware protection
In higher education, instructors can spend 16-24 hours to design a new lecture. This cost translates to around $800-$1,200 per lecture. During the school year, an average instructor prepares about 30 lectures, which accounts for anywhere between $30,000 to a million dollars. The protection of these prepared materials and tasks for dozens of lectures is a top priority and a huge challenge for educational organizations.
Public and Private educational organizations are also experiencing Ransomware attacks at an accelerated pace. Many of these organizations use G Suite and store files in Google Drive. With Google Drive sync running, files on local computers and in the cloud could be exposed.
“Many forms of ransomware are Trojans, not viruses, which is why conventional antivirus tools are unable to detect the ransomware attack. At Gurnick, we are committed to taking proactive measures that ensures all our students and staff are fully protected. This is why selected Spin Technology as the solution for our organization.”
