Kelser Quoted as Expert Source in InsideHigherEd Article on Ransomware

Written by Adam Stahl | January 24, 2017

InsideHigherEd, the leading digital media outlet for higher education professionals, published an article about recent ransomware attacks on colleges and universities.

Kelser Vice President of Professional Services Matt Kozloski is one of several technology and higher education experts interviewed for the article and quoted in it. Matt speaks to why ransomware attacks have become so prevalent--mainly because they are profitable for hackers.

The article explores the dilemma faced when a ransomware attack occurs: should a college or university pay the ransom? Kelser can help institutions of higher learning navigate this conundrum, but our first priority is to do everything we can to block an attack in the first place.
