Terry KS Keeper Security has released a new guide, “Cybersecurity in Schools 2025,” offering practical tools for educators and families to protect sensitive data as cyberattacks on the education sector continue to rise. The resource addresses ransomware, AI-driven threats, and the lack of training in schools.
SINGAPORE, 15 SEPTEMBER 2025 – Keeper Security, a global leader in zero-trust and zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions, has unveiled a new education-focused resource titled Cybersecurity in Schools 2025: A Family and Educator Guide to Safer Digital Learning. The comprehensive guide aims to help schools and families strengthen digital safety practices amid a sharp increase in cyberattacks on the education sector.
According to Comparitech, ransomware attacks on schools, colleges, and universities surged by 23% year-on-year in the first half of 2025. Despite this, research from Keeper reveals that only 14% of schools mandate cybersecurity training, leaving institutions and students vulnerable.
The guide provides:
- Up-to-date data on cybersecurity risks in education
- Actionable checklists and best practices for safer digital learning
- Guidance on addressing AI-driven cybersecurity threats
“Cybersecurity delivers the greatest value when it is proactive rather than reactive,” said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “By making strong security simple and accessible, schools can remain focused on education – and students on learning – without the disruptions or distractions posed by today’s sophisticated cybersecurity threats.”
Keeper’s unified platform integrates password management, secrets management, zero-trust network access, and endpoint privilege management with AI-driven threat detection. Backed by certifications such as FedRAMP and GovRAMP, Keeper’s cloud-first solutions are designed to protect sensitive data while ensuring compliance and uninterrupted learning.
The company has also continued its Flex Your Cyber® initiative, launched in 2024, which provides engaging resources in partnership with KnowBe4, the National Cybersecurity Alliance, CYBER.ORG, and Atlassian Williams Racing to promote safer online practices among students, parents, and educators.
The Cybersecurity in Schools 2025 guide is now available for download via Keeper’s official website.
