EdTech Magazine: CoSN2023: Cybersecurity Conversations at the District, State and Federal Levels

K–12 cybersecurity conversations are happening at the district, state and federal levels. An increase in cyberattacks against schools has leaders re-evaluating security needs, and with that comes concerns about upkeep, funding and legality.

The buzz around cybersecurity reflects CoSN’s consistent findings that cybersecurity is the No. 1 priority for IT leaders.
