Montana Schools are Under Attack

Montana Schools are under attack. Columbia Falls, Havre, Bainville, Forsyth, Bigfork have all been breached.

Could you be next?

The importance of school cybersecurity is paramount, and District are not getting ahead of the cybersecurity problems.

Can you identify your top security threats?

Now, more than ever teaching, learning and student records are at risk given District’s dependence on digital systems remote, hybrid and/or in school.

The risks don’t stop there, CoSN (Consortium for School Networking) highlights these other key concerns:

  • Districts and technology staff may be held liable for incidents.
  • Federal law requires compliance: FERPA, PPRA, CIPA, COPPA
  • Hits to the professional reputation of Administrators.
