| Titre | Cybersecurity in education: Securing schools as they transition to online learning |
| Texte | This blog was written by an independent guest blogger. Whether they were prepared for it or not, schools around the world have been forced to adopt an online learning model for students thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. One of the biggest concerns educators need to have in this situation is exactly how to create a fully secure remote learning environment in order to keep sensitive information for both the schools and individual students safe from hackers. Data breaches cause real-world damage and tarnish the credibility of the organizations that fall prey to them (including schools and educational institutions). As schools across the globe turn digital due to students studying from home, they are also becoming more vulnerable targets to cyberattacks. Schools are finding themselves outmatched as these threats intensify. Parents likewise need to learn about and ensure safe cybersecurity practices for their kids, and would therefore also benefit from learning about the security methods that we are about to cover. In this article, we’ll discuss how school technology leaders can develop the necessary strategies to protect against and mitigate breaches by procuring technology and developing risk management policies and planning for incidents before they occur. Why Are Schools At Risk of Cyber Attacks? In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the focus and attention of most of the cybersecurity community have been on protecting government institutions, the airline industry, and the healthcare industry from hackers. This is good, but educational institutions are at just as much risk from malicious hackers as the above industries and organizations are as well. If anything, this risk has only increased significantly due to the record numbers of students who are now attending school via online learning platforms, video conferences, and e-learning environments. In the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has warned extensively about the greatly increased cybersecurity risks of teleconferencing and online classrooms. The FBI specifically cites examples of malicious cybercriminals delivering threatening content to Zoom classroom calls (colloquially referred to as Zoom-bombing), which has even resulted in numerous school districts pulling out of Zoom and seeking alternative platforms. This highlights a larger issue of schools and school districts using technology that has either not been properly vetted or that educators and students are not prepared to use safely. In other words, even as school districts turn to alternative teleconferencing options besides Zoom, they can still be a major risk of falling prey to hackers and cybercriminals. This leads us to our next question: what exactly can school districts and educational inst |
