About the course
As technology has become pervasive across K-12 schools, so too has the cybersecurity threat from bad actors to penetrate school systems, hack sensitive data, and hold schools ransom.
This course was developed by D2L and Sinclair College in response to this significant cybersecurity threat, and the need for system leaders to acquire the general knowledge and approaches necessary to protect your community and the continuity of learning.
Participants will learn about cybersecurity threats, mitigation practices, and key steps for breach prevention and response. Interactive activities will help you assess and improve your understanding, while actionable tools and frameworks will support your organization in evaluating and improving your district's preparedness.
