Cybersecurity incidents, such as the recent cyberattack on the Los Angeles Unified School District, have exposed personal information, financial records, and research data to malicious actors.
Recognizing this growing threat, the Biden-Harris Administration is determined to strengthen cybersecurity in schools by providing resources and guidance to improve their resilience against cyberattacks. However, many educational institutions face resource constraints when it comes to cybersecurity.
