Most educators have little experience or expertise in cybersecurity. Yet, it is one of the most pressing vulnerabilities in today's society. Beyond simply being aware of this vulnerability, educational leaders must ask themselves: What is an effective strategy for managing cybersecurity concerns? Whom do you trust to give you the best information? What should you do first? To answer these questions, administrators need to think more strategically about the vulnerability of educational networks to cybersecurity threats. School districts can be especially vulnerable to IT security breaches, because many districts have developed systems in an ad hoc fashion over time, with mixed environments that are harder to manage and secure. Providing strong, visible leadership that forcefully articulates the importance of IT security, while balancing the access needs of students, teachers, and community members is the important role of the district superintendent. To increase network and information security, the following tips are helpful: (1) Keep stakeholders--teachers, students, school board members, parents, and district administrators--informed about the issues related to IT security; (2) Conduct a comprehensive district security assessment that sets a baseline for future planning; (3) Keep the big-picture planning goal and process in mind as implementing detailed security planning activities; and (4) Document all organizational requirements and activities necessary to guarantee successful security measures and ongoing district and stakeholder support.
