Montana Schools are Under Attack
Done For You Cybersecurity Systems
Montana schools are facing a growing threat. Columbia Falls, Havre, Bainville, Forsyth, and Bigfork have all been breached.
Cybersecurity for Montana schools
Can You Identify Your Top Security Threats?
Teaching, learning, and student records are more vulnerable than ever due to schools’ growing dependence on digital systems. Whether remote, hybrid, or in person, the risks are real and rising.
CoSN (Consortium for School Networking) highlights even more critical concerns:
- Districts and tech staff may be held personally liable for breaches
- Federal laws demand strict compliance: FERPA, PPRA, CIPA, COPPA
- Security failures can impact the professional reputation of administrators
Could you be next?
The importance of cybersecurity in education is growing fast. Unfortunately, most districts aren’t getting ahead of the problem.
