Educational Institutions

School districts and the educational community have historically been targets for theft and vandalism. With the increase in technology, faculty and students are at greater risk for computer crimes and the loss it creates. Laptop and desktop computers for Students, Classrooms, Administrator and faculty computers all have the need for the services that The CyberAngel® provides.

In 2010, 73 data breaches were at Colleges and Universities. Since 2005, there have been over 531 publicly disclosed data breaches in the university sector accounting for more than 8,487,000 records being at risk for compromise. Educational institutions are not exempt from the pending Federal Legislation Bills currently before Congress.

• Stolen or lost laptops account for 36% of all data breach cases. Data breaches concerning lost, missing or stolen laptops are more expensive than other data breach incidents
• More than 82% of the companies surveyed had more than one data breach during 2009 involving 1,000 or more records containing Personal Information
• The average organizational cost of a data breach increased from $6.65 million in 2008 to $6.75 million in 2009

Government Agencies

FISMA (Federal Information Security Management Act) was passed by Congress in 2003. All government agencies and third party vendors have a responsibility to become compliant.
