SECURUS360 K-12 Advantage
The K-12 Cybersecurity Problem
The truth is that even school districts with very capable IT teams are fighting an uphill battle against cyberattacks:
- Many district IT teams just don’t have the staff, technology or bandwidth to keep up with parsing alerts, investigating and remediating threats, and addressing critical vulnerabilities all day long.
- New threats are evolving fast and many bypass traditional defenses that districts rely on.
- The human element – all it takes for a breach is one click on a malicious link in a phishing email by a student or staff member.
- CoSN Cyber Security - Cybersecurity Remains K-12 EdTech Leaders’ No. 1 Priority in 2024
The numbers tell us that it’s not a matter of “if”, but of “when” your school district will be attacked. Luckily, choosing a cybersecurity services company like SECURUS360 provides the necessary cybersecurity protection and peace of mind school districts desperately need, and it has been a game-changer for many districts, especially those with already overloaded IT teams.
