RELIANCE ON TECHNOLOGY ,
According to Mr. Koh of Akamai Technologies, this occurrence underscored the dangers of third-party electric solutions being more closely integrated into important fields like education.  ,
Because they provide a large number of clients nationally, he explained, making service providers like Mobile Guardian more and more vulnerable to cyberattacks.  ,
According to experts, online education is still relevant, and parents, teachers, and students should practice modern hygiene to lessen the disruptions brought on by similar incidents.  ,
As schools incorporate products like iPads and pills, they become more important for understanding, said Mr Koh.  ,
When these products are instantly made inoperable, he added, and when they are combined with a lack of adequate storage or healing methods and emergency ideas, he continued.  ,
It has the potential to cause common averse like what we are currently seeing.
When misused, system management tools like Mobile Guardian can be very disruptive to learning, according to Mr. Koh, who performs strong functions like digitally wiping devices.  ,
According to him, schools require solid backup and recovery strategies to quickly restore students ‘ function and applications as well as concise and clear response plans to manage these turbulence.  ,
According to Mr. Terence Siau, general director of the Singapore Center for Strategic Cyberspace and International Studies, this event has highlighted the importance of having a business continuity plan.  ,
” Sad to say, we wo n’t be able to avoid ( disruptions and incidents ) 100 per cent if we really want to go to a digital world”, he continued, noting that technology will always come with vulnerabilities.  ,
” We’re definitely dependent on a digital world, so … more planning in terms of business continuity, backing up is important” . ,
Schools can develop more comprehensive emergency programs that include other learning methods and platforms, according to Flexxon’s Ms. Chan, to reduce disruption if related incidents occur again.  ,
She advised putting in place robust backup systems to make sure data is always accessible and properly stored, yet if main systems are compromised.  ,
For instance, schools may consider saving the components in many locations – in on-site function servers, in the fog and on documents, she added.  ,
Individuals who store their research and information on a shared computer at home might also think about putting them on an external hard drive or a cloud-based learning platform. In the event that any of these crash, they may also maintain a folder of handwritten notes.  ,
According to Ms. Chan, schools can also take into account a two-tiered data storage scheme, which involves performing an incremental backup every three weeks or less and updating your copy every time new changes are made.  ,
It is crucial to keep in mind that these are always labor-intensive and difficult to enforce. Perhaps so, it helps prevent a complete record lost in a situation like this. ”  ,
