Cybersecurity in K12 Schools: Protecting Devices and Data in the Digital Age
October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time when schools and institutions across the country take stock of their digital security practices. For K12 schools, where technology is essential to daily operations, protecting devices and data is more critical than ever. Schools handle a vast amount of sensitive information, student records, personal data, and communications- making them prime targets for cyberattacks.
At Secured Tech, we understand the unique challenges schools face when it comes to managing their technology securely. Our work with K12 schools includes selling and supporting devices, offering repairs, providing software solutions, and ensuring secure end-of-life processes through buyback and e-recycling. But more than just managing devices, our mission is to help schools create a safer digital environment. Here’s how cybersecurity plays into each aspect of device management in schools and how schools can improve their defenses.
