Educational institutions are increasingly adopting new technologies, including AI-powered tools, to enhance learning experiences. But as our VP of R&D, Vichai Levy, highlights in his latest piece for Dark Reading, this innovation comes with significant risks — particularly for K-12 students whose #sensitivedata, like #PII, is becoming a prime target for cybercriminals. 🔍 From ransomware attacks to vulnerabilities in third-party applications, the education sector is facing growing threats in an aggressive cyber environment. Vic breaks down: • How attackers exploit weaknesses in school systems. • The devastating long-term impact of student identity theft. • Why comprehensive data protection strategies are essential to safeguarding the future. Protecting sensitive data in schools isn’t just about #compliance — it’s about ensuring students can learn and thrive without the shadow of potential cyber threats. A big thank you to #Darkreading for spotlighting this important issue and to our PR partners at Touchdown PR - a Ruder Finn company for helping amplify this conversation. Check out Vic’s full article to learn how schools can prioritize security and build a safer future for students: https://lnkd.in/gtEKn79i

Six years before GenAI take the scene by storm, I got back in my journey of technical intensity, so many of us were certified in the v1.0 of Microsoft AI Engineers. Six years of great learning, mentored by my friend and partner Armando Blanco Garcia So, this is the six years getting re-certified in a row , having fun discovering the latest and greatest features. Next stop. GenAI certifications from the still day 1 company, Amazon Web Services (AWS) #ai #genai #datasecurity Protegrity

Thank you, Dark Reading, for bringing attention to this critical issue. The education sector faces unique challenges in securing sensitive student data, and as Vichai Levy emphasizes, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Safeguarding student PII isn’t just about addressing threats — it’s about ensuring the safety and future of our next generation. At Protegrity, we are proud to be part of the solution, empowering schools with the tools and strategies needed to strengthen their defenses and protect what matters most.

As we look toward 2025, I see AI transforming the data protection landscape in exciting ways. Enhanced threat detection with tools like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) #gans will help us proactively identify and address vulnerabilities by simulating cyber-attack scenarios #ciber , letting us strengthen our defenses before threats strike.   Automation #aiagents will be another game-changer, especially in incident response. By handling routine security tasks like monitoring and responding to low-level threats, AI will allow us to streamline remediation at both the physical and logical levels, making data protection faster and more efficient.   I also anticipate AI-driven advances in encryption, potentially developing stronger algorithms that secure data both at rest and in transit. Privacy-preserving data analysis is on the horizon too, with differential privacy techniques allowing us to analyze data without compromising individual privacy.   AI’s ability to read and interpret compliance requirements through Natural Language Processing (NLP) #npl will help ensure regulatory alignment, adding layers of security across regions and industries. And as regulations tighten globally, AI itself will need to meet high transparency standards, actively supporting data governance with automated discovery, classification, and quality control processes.   In short, these innovations are poised to make data protection smarter, faster, and more secure— taking us into a new era of proactive data defense. https://lnkd.in/dhKNFrCY #dataprotection #ciber #genai #datasecurity #ai Protegrity
