After the Canvas Breach: What Your Institution Needs to Know

// A free educational briefing for Higher Ed IT and security teams: what happened, the threats that follow, and practical steps to protect your campus. //

In early May 2026, a cyberattack on Instructure, the company behind Canvas LMS, resulted in the largest educational data breach on record. Over 275 million records were stolen from more than 8,800 institutions worldwide, including student names, email addresses, student IDs, and private messages.

In the weeks since, higher ed security teams have been asking the same urgent questions: What data from our institution was exposed? What attacks should we expect next? Are our current defenses ready for them? This webinar is designed to answer those questions.

In this session, you’ll hear: - A plain-language breakdown of the Instructure breach - The follow-on attacks to expect next - Next steps you can take to protect your community

Whether you’re actively responding to this incident or want to make sure your institution is prepared for what comes next, you’ll leave with concrete, actionable guidance you can apply immediately.
