As more schools become more digital, cyber security has become a growing area of concern. While most school- and district-level administrators know that keeping students safe online and protecting school data from hackers are important, not all educators are prepared to address those issues, and many aren’t knowledgeable about how to set up online safeguards.
Don’t miss this chance to hear from experts what cyber-secure schools look like, and how school administrators can create safe digital environments for students and staff.
