Schools are getting hacked, educators are resigning, and the battle for talent is intensifying.

Education has a password problem.
Passwords are being saved in all the wrong places and in all the wrong ways.
31%
write their work passwords in a personal journal.
67% of Education workers choose passwords that are easy to remember.
29% of educators are not using multifactor authentication.
80% of cyber attacks start with a compromised password. Schools need to commit to going fully password-less or use password management tools.
Lines are Blurred Between Work and Personal Devices
Educators are using work devices for person use and personal devices for work use.
30%
of young workers allow family members to use their work devices
49% of younger workers use work devices for personal use.
78% of younger workers use personal devices for work.
Best practice is device management for school-owned devices and use application protection policies for BYO devices.
Personal privacy over employer security
Personal privacy is more important to Gen Z than any previous generation.
More than three quarters of education employees put their personal privacy ahead of employer’s security.
This is even more extreme for remote workers and Gen Z employees.
Onboarding is a Clunky Experience
New employees wait days to get their devices set up.
17%
of education workers are “very satisfied” with the IT support they receive at work
Remote workers wait an average of 3 days for their laptops to be set up.
They also require 2.87 support calls to IT to become fully enabled.
Employers need to be more intentional about designing an onboarding process for remote workers. Zero-touch provisioning and password-less authentication simplify the set-up experience.
Gen Z is changing the conversation in education.
Gen Z does not appear to read security policies, but they are more aware of privacy policies than any other generation.
21%
of Gen Z in Education say they have NEVER received security awareness training at work
14% of Gen Z in Education say they have NEVER seen a security policy at work.
43% of Gen Z in Education say they often see a privacy policy at work vs. only 17% for Baby Boomers.
Since Gen Z are hyper aware of privacy policies, employers should involve younger workers when drafting policies on security.
