School Safety and Cybersecurity
Schools often have limited resources, serve varied student populations, face persistent cyber threats, and are susceptible to various physical hazards. Recognizing the multifaceted challenges encountered by the education community, CISA actively works with the education community to provide information, tools, technical assistance and other resources to help stakeholders reduce their cyber and physical security risk while increasing their resilience and capability.
CISA’s products can help the education community create safe and supportive digital and physical spaces for our children and students. We encourage you to explore our webpages below which focus on school safety and cyber and physical security for schools.
