"Findings and Updates from CISA's Ongoing Collaboration with Education Technology Vendors to Address K-12 Cybersecurity Challenges"
The K-12 education sector has become increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. These attacks have resulted in the compromise of students' personal information, the exposure of school security information, class disruptions, school closures, and the loss of financial resources. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has reported that 11 education technology vendors have committed to Secure by Design, which involves designing products with more security built-in. Secure by Design, a CISA initiative co-sealed by 17 US and international partners, aims to shift responsibility for digital security from the most vulnerable and least equipped (e.g., school districts) to the most capable (i.e., software manufacturers). This article continues to discuss updates regarding CISA's collaboration with education technology vendors to tackle K-12 cybersecurity challenges.
