Cybersecurity

Schools are responsible for protecting the personal information of staff, students, and parents. Often lacking adequate resources to defend their networks, schools are top targets for email phishing, ransomware, denial of service, vendor breaches and other data crimes. Successful attacks can divert funds from school budgets and, as importantly, erode public trust.

Consider Fund Cybersecurity coverage (formally known as Privacy and Information Security coverage) to protect your district from the growing and costly threat of cybercrime. Currently, this coverage option is available to Fund members with School Liability coverage. Members that opt for Privacy and Information Security coverage pay a separate contribution.
