Security is Key to Digital Momentum in K-12

SonicWall and THE Journal provide expert viewpoints covering some of the biggest hurdles that K-12 school districts face. Rapidly changing security threats are forcing schools to move beyond point solutions, which have proven both difficult to manage and ineffective in checking cyber threats.

To ensure safety against tomorrow’s advanced threats, it’s important for school districts to sustain a heightened awareness of information security concerns. This will both help to maximize the impact of their existing investments and to position themselves for future advances in digital learning.

This is the first in a three-part series examining key challenges and opportunities in education today. Part 2 provides a playbook for overcoming these hurdles, and Part 3 is a Q&A-style article where experts answer current questions and provide solutions and effective approaches to managing K-12 information security.
