The education sector has spoken loud and clear: Our schools and libraries urgently need cybersecurity support. Today, the Federal Communications Commission announced staggering numbers from their Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot Program: ?? 2,734 applications received ?? $3.7 billion in total funding requests ??? Applicants from all 50 states, Puerto Rico, and D.C. ?? Mix of rural and urban communities As FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel noted, "The vulnerabilities in the networks we have in our schools and libraries are real—and growing." The overwhelming response to this $200 million pilot program validates what education leaders like CoSN and SETDA have been saying for years: our learning institutions need robust support to defend against mounting cyber threats. What's next? The FCC will prioritize: ? Institutions with highest demonstrated need ? Tribal entities ? Ensuring diversity in size and geography of selected participants This work isn't just about protecting school networks—it's about safeguarding our students' confidential personal information and our communities' access to learning. The cyber threats to the education sector are real, and it's encouraging to see such an enthusiastic response to the pilot. #Cybersecurity #EdTech #K12 #Education #DigitalSecurity #SchoolSafety
