Network Segmentation

Does every device in your district ride on one big network?

If students, staff, and IoT devices like cameras and printers all share the same segment, a single infection can race through them all—fast.

That’s where network segmentation comes in. It’s a smart, proactive way to carve your environment into security zones, each with its own access rules.

What Segmentation Looks Like in K–12:

Isolate Student Traffic

Check the sender’s email address. Look out for misspellings or unfamiliar domains. If it looks off, it probably is.

Split Staff by Role

Never click links without hovering over them first. If the URL doesn’t match the official domain, don’t trust it.

Lock Down IoT Devices

Phishing messages often try to create panic—“Your account will be deactivated!”—to pressure you into clicking quickly.

Secure Guest Access

Professional organizations proofread their emails. If the message is full of errors, that’s a red flag.

The Result:

• Fewer lateral-movement attacks
• Clearer network traffic
• Stronger data protection
