Cybersecurity Overview

The first step to protecting against the growing and costly threat of cybercrime is to understand the risks facing schools and other educational organizations.

With more technology than ever being used in schools, cybercriminals are finding more opportunities than ever to launch attacks, steal sensitive information and deploy ransomware. Protecting against these threats requires a multifaceted approach that includes well-designed systems, processes and ongoing training to secure data and sensitive information.

One benefit of adding Fund Cyber Liability & Security coverage is having access to specialized resources and training to help mitigate and protect against the risks associated with the use and management of student information and private data.
