Cyberattacks on K–12 schools are rising fast, making cybersecurity a shared responsibility—not just an IT issue. Ontario’s school boards are urged to build a cyber aware culture where everyone, from directors to students, plays a role in protecting data and systems.
A cyber aware culture means staff and students are trained to spot phishing, use strong passwords, and report suspicious activity. The benefits are huge: fewer breaches, stronger privacy protections, reduced downtime, and lower financial risk. It also boosts trust among parents and the community, while empowering staff and students to be safe and savvy digital citizens.
ECNO’s Director of Security Solution Chris Dale has developed a clear roadmap to help boards build awareness, overcome challenges, and sustain momentum year-round.
