Partnerships are a Surefire Way to Help Schools Bounce Back from Cybercrime

As more K–12 schools get caught in the crosshairs of cybercriminals determined to steal the mountains of valuable data that schools must protect, cyber resilience is more important than ever. Once a bad actor successfully breaches a school’s network, it can be stressful and frustrating to get back on track. However, it’s not all bad news. It is during these trying times that most K–12 IT teams get the very clear message that they are not alone.

Because the impact can be so widespread, successfully recovering from a cyber breach cannot and should not be a one-man or one-department operation. In “Why Schools Need an Incident Response Recovery Plan Today,” school leaders note that an effective incident response plan must involve key stakeholders from across the district and include a list of people to reach out to for help.
