What is a hacker, and what threats do they present to K12 school districts? As we begin the school year, we want to ensure that K12 districts are adequately prepared to address these risks and secure data. In this episode presented by Telos, we discuss the philosophies behind anti-hacking data security and strategies educators can take to protect district networks, data, information, and security systems from hackers.
