Shield Your School from Cyber Threats with OpenCape's DDoS Mitigation
While it's hard to know exactly how many K-12 school systems have been targeted by hackers, an analysis by the cyber security firm Emsisoft estimates that 45 school districts were attacked in 2022. In 2023, Emsisoft found that number more than doubled, to 108.
In today's digital landscape, cyberattacks have become increasingly sophisticated and frequent. Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, which overwhelm networks with traffic, pose a significant threat to organizations of all sizes. To safeguard your operations and protect your online reputation, OpenCape offers robust DDoS mitigation services in partnership with Corero.
