The Internet is an invaluable resource for teachers and students, but it's also one that's filled with risks as well. The education sector is commonly targeted by hackers, both because it has valuable data and because cyber security measures are inconsistent across districts, campuses, and buildings. They are prime targets for social engineering attacks such as phishing, since cyber security awareness may not be the same among the teacher and student population. Social engineering tactics can be particularly useful against larger organizations, as it's less likely that an unfamiliar face or name would be out of place in that environment. On top of that risk, a lack of privacy can also stem from inappropriate social media settings, over sharing, and other factors that lead to reputation damage or cyberbullying. Use this complete web browsing privacy guide to protect teachers, students, and parents from all the dangers of web browsing.
