Equity of Cybersecurity in the Education System

About the Book

Every organization faces cyberthreats, cyberattacks, and technology breaches. Schools are no different. But professors, instructors, educators, and school systems have mostly failed to promote cybersecurity, leaving themselves—and their students—at risk. Joseph O. Esin highlights the serious nature of the problem in this book. He answers questions such as: • What does a well-structured plan to prevent cyber-threats look like? • How can we promote equity of cybersecurity in education system? • Where do cyber threats rank compared with other dangers? • How can high schools, colleges, and universities promote cybersecurity endeavors? The best way to prevent cyberattacks is to create a professional education alliance that promotes meaningful change. High school, colleges, universities, professors, educators, and support personnel must come to the table to make prevention a priority. Get a clear understanding of the problem and respond with meaningful measures with the insights and information in The Equity of Cybersecurity in the Education System.
