UK education institutions face severe cyberattack risks, with 91% of higher education breached yearly and ransomware costs soaring. Traditional perimeter security fails amid cloud adoption and remote learning, making Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) essential to restrict access tightly and reduce insider threats from students and staff.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Edtech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Zero Trust network access is now a regulatory and operational imperative in UK education. If you run an EdTech business, tightening access controls and shifting away from perimeter-based security opens urgent opportunities and gates market trust.
