How Leaders Prioritize Education Cybersecurity to Protect Schools and Students
ED Tech Magazine
As most criminals do, cybercriminals make a habit of targeting the most vulnerable. News headlines often highlight the dangers they pose in the context of nation-state threats or breaches that target the data of large enterprises. But in 2022, according to a recent report, 89 educational institutions were hit by ransomware, impacting nearly 2,000 schools in the U.S.

News headlines often highlight the dangers they pose in the context of nation-state threats or breaches that target the data of large enterprises. But in 2022, according to a recent report, 89 educational institutions were hit by ransomware, impacting nearly 2,000 schools in the U.S.
The most common time frame for an attack is at the beginning of the school year when K–12 IT professionals are already overwhelmed with tasks like updating passwords. IT personnel should not be expected to bear the security burden alone. A shared-responsibility model, in which everyone in the organization is aware of cybersecurity risks and does their part to remain secure, is crucial.
Attackers target schools because, when it comes to IT security, there is often a serious knowledge gap among staff at K–12 institutions. When education leaders get stuck on traditional processes and teams, they may find it hard to adapt to a new culture that prioritizes cybersecurity. -

Filed US 20060288422
Systems and methods for software licensing enforcement using an ACPI BIOS. A digital license is provided that includes information about both the software and hardware on which it is to be run. The licensing process receives hardware and software information from the end user and binds the license to both. A main BIOS binary contains code and static motherboard specific data.

Systems and methods for software licensing enforcement using an ACPI BIOS. A digital license is provided that includes information about both the software and hardware on which it is to be run. The licensing process receives hardware and software information from the end user and binds the license to both. A main BIOS binary contains code and static motherboard specific data. Dynamic state values containing, e.g., machine-specific system management data, such as, a serial number may be stored subsequently on NVRAM or its equivalent. The main BIOS binary allows provides sufficient functionality to test the hardware. Once the software to be loaded on the system is known, a corresponding digital license containing both the software and hardware information is loaded to NVRAM.
