The Inside Scoop

The PowerSchool breach hit differently. Cyber incidents have been occurring for years, but the extent of this breach was deeply frightening and eye-opening. THOUSANDS of schools, students (current and former), teachers and parents were affected by this breach, and the magnitude of the damage is still being uncovered.

Your MSP provider likely brings up your cybersecurity posture, how it currently measures up and what you need to do to continuously strengthen your school’s health. The reality is most schools don’t think it will impact them, but the likelihood of a breach affecting your school is very much a reality and there is no end in sight. If anything, these breaches will exponentially increase.

By being proactive (start with a discussion!), you’ll be helping your school in so many ways. Don’t compromise the sensitive data of your constituents. Take small steps to ensure your school is safe and secure.
