K12 SIX, SETDA Partner to Issue Cybersecurity Guidance for Small, Rural, and Under-Resourced Districts

In collaboration with the K12 Security Information eXchange (K12 SIX), SETDA recently announced the release of a cybersecurity resource focused on small, rural, and under-resourced districts: “Small Districts, Big Hurdles: Cybersecurity Support for Small, Rural, and Under-resourced Districts.”

Developed by SETDA’s Cybersecurity & Privacy Collaborative, this resource is designed to identify essential resources, assess state-level K-12 cybersecurity advocacy initiatives, and craft policy recommendations to enhance cybersecurity readiness within these districts. The publication offers details on how state agencies and other support organizations are empowering their smallest districts to secure their data and networks. From detailing various funding sources to providing insights into statewide and regional partnerships and offering practical examples of cybersecurity training, the document is a must-read for everyone involved in helping districts improve their cybersecurity posture.
