Phishing in 2025: What K–12 Tech Teams Need to Know (and Do)

Phishing is the biggest cyber threat to school districts, and it's evolving faster than ever. Are your current defenses ready for what's next?

Socially engineered emails are a significant weak point, with 63% of K-12 organizations hit by ransomware last year, and 26% of those attacks starting with phishing. The median recovery cost for these incidents also skyrocketed to $3 million in 2024.

Join ManagedMethods for a concise and impactful 40-minute webinar for K–12 technology teams. We'll go beyond basic phishing awareness to explore the sophisticated tactics attackers are leveraging in 2025, from advanced impersonation of trusted sources like administrators, vendors, and students, to AI-generated scams that often bypass traditional security layers.

You'll learn:

• The latest phishing trends impacting K–12 schools and how to spot the subtle indicators of modern attacks in Gmail and Outlook.
• Actionable strategies to strengthen your district's security and enhance incident response, especially against attacks designed to steal credentials or deploy ransomware.
• Why traditional phishing detection is no longer enough to protect sensitive student and staff data from increasingly clever threats.

We'll also introduce you to the power of Chain-of-Thought (CoT) AI phishing detection with a short, impactful demo. See firsthand how this new solution brings enterprise-grade artificial intelligence phishing detection to K-12 school districts, simulating human-like problem-solving to detect and block advanced phishing and spam emails across Gmail and Outlook, giving IT teams a smarter, more effective way to protect students and staff.
