A roadmap to modernize education systems without halting learning operations.
The education sector is facing a critical moment. Legacy technology systems are no longer just outdated—they’re becoming liabilities. With ransomware attacks on higher education institutions increasing by 70% and average data breach costs soaring to $3.65 million, the urgency to modernize is clear.
This whitepaper explores how educational institutions can transition from vulnerable, legacy systems to modern, secure, and scalable infrastructures. Backed by research, compliance insights, and real-world success stories, it presents a strategic approach to digital transformation that prioritizes resilience, operational continuity, and data privacy.
Covered Points
- The growing cybersecurity threats targeting educational institutions
- The cost and consequences of outdated systems
- Compliance challenges with FERPA, Section 508, and GDPR-style regulations
- A phased modernization roadmap for minimal disruption
- How cloud, AI/ML, and data analytics can transform education delivery
- Case studies showing 40–60% operational efficiency gains post-modernization
