Cybersecurity Should Be A Priority For School Technology Leaders
School technology leaders are faced with mounting challenges regarding the security of the data sys- tems entrusted to protect privacy and critical information. The risk of cyberattacks from outside sources is significantly increasing, as noted in the following examples:
Phishing e-mails are the predominate risk for most organizations Distributed Denials of Service (DDoS) attacks can paralyze your network Internet of Things (IoT) and network devices (IP Security Cameras) are being targeted by nefarious actors Patching and updating is lagging and is creating an easy environment for hackers
