We are constantly improving the software to meet our users’ needs. Team members are available to support clients throughout the working day by e-mail or by phone.
Cybersecurity is a critical, but often overlooked, aspect of school safety and security. School districts are considered “soft targets” compared to banks, hospitals, and businesses because criminals can access similar data with much less effort.
Since 2016, there have been more than 770 cyber incidents affecting K-12 schools in the United States, including ransomeware attacks, data breaches, phishing attacks, and more.* The BCIU Office of Information Technology wants to equip school leaders with the knowledge they need to prevent these costly attacks.
