Potecting Your School District from Cyber Attacks

The world of technology has created an entirely new type of security issue for school districts: cyber threats. These attacks can come in many forms, from phishing scams to ransomware, and can have a devastating impact on school districts. Not only can they put student and staff data at risk, but they can also disrupt operations, leading to lost instructional time and costly cleanup.

Fortunately, there are steps school districts can take to prevent cyber threats. It is important to ensure that all staff and students are educated in cyber security best practices, such as not clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files. Additionally, all computers and other devices should be kept up to date with the latest security patches. School districts should also consider investing in a strong anti-virus solution and firewall to help protect their systems.

In addition to these preventive measures, school districts can also benefit from 24/7 monitoring.
