Cybersecurity Planning Team

Northern Indiana School Districts can join our Cybersecurity Planning Team that will work together to turn resources into action by using templates & resources provided by Purdue Cybersecurity Taskforce to meet liability insurance requirements, school board policy as well as state/federal guidelines.

Participate in monthly meetings where pre-assigned documents and templates are assigned for you to complete on behalf of your school district and discuss important cybersecurity topics.

Over time, each district participating will hope to have all documentation in place, plans for software/hardware requirements implementation, and resources available to decrease cybersecurity threats to their district.
