Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is a critical, but often overlooked, aspect of school safety and security. School districts are considered “soft targets” compared to banks, hospitals, and businesses because criminals can access similar data with much less effort. 

Since 2016, there have been more than 770 cyber incidents affecting K-12 schools in the United States.* These incidents include: 

  • Unauthorized disclosures, breaches, or hacks resulting in the disclosure of personal data

  • Ransomware attacks

  • Phishing attacks resulting in the disclosure of personal data

  • Denial-of-service attacks

  • Other cyber incidents resulting in school disruptions and unauthorized disclosures
