Assessing Your Cyber Security Risk: A BoardDocs and NSBA Webinar

Student data, payroll data, and other sensitive information fetches a high price on the Dark Web, and many schools are unprepared. In response to public outcry for leaders to take responsibility for ensuring the safety of personal data, new laws have been passed to hold directors and officers accountable for cyber risk.

In 2018, the National School Boards Association in conjunction with BoardDocs surveyed K-12 education professionals on their cyber-risk knowledge. Over 480 individuals responded and results were somber. School boards spend little time ensuring that cybersecurity programs are effective and that student data is safe. In fact, many board members seem unaware that cyber risk is even part of their fiduciary obligation, while others inadvertently increase their school districts’ cyber risk by relying on unsecured methods of communication.

Join BoardDocs for this important briefing designed specifically for school board leaders and superintendents. Learn about findings of the report and specific steps your district can take to improve cyber-risk readiness.

BoardDocs and National School Boards Association are holding a cybersecurity webinar on Wednesday, September 18 at 1 p.m. EST with NSBA. VP of Thought Leadership, Diligent, Dottie Schindlinger will be presenting.
