What is really neat for me as a CIO is that whenever I get an email that looks suspicious, I forward it to the email abuse mailbox. Armorblox then immediately quarantines the threat for everybody else.

Email risk is a reality for every educational institution

Educational institutions - whether K-12 or universities - want their students to have an open, transparent, and secure learning experience. Cybercriminals exploit this transparency by using impersonation and social engineering to target the human layer of campuses - students, faculty, and staff.

The 2021 Verizon DBIR found that 50% of breaches in the Education sector involved social engineering. Around 80% of these social engineering breaches involved Pretexting as a tactic, which is heavily associated with Business Email Compromise.

Education's Unique Email Security Challenges

With a diverse set of stakeholders and an attack surface that increases with every new semester, educational institutions deal with unique email security challenges.

Lean IT and Security Teams
Your teams have a lot on their plate and often lack the time and resources to triage and respond to high-volume email threats.
Weaponized Transparency
Your institution has open staff directories and contact details for transparency - but that leaves the door ajar for a variety of email impersonation attacks.
Device and Application Sprawl
Your students have multiple email IDs, bring their own devices, and work across many cloud applications for daily work. All those email IDs and apps are potential entry points for compromise.
Productive (But Risky) Behaviors
Your students and staff may think of security as a blocker, using personal VPNs and executing workarounds for ease of work. This fogs over visibility for security teams and can lead to email account compromise.
