Privacy and Security
As digital tools and online platforms are continually relied on to support work in the educational field, it is important to take necessary measures to protect our data from potential security breaches.
As educators, we deal with sensitive information such as student records, financial information, and other confidential data. It is our responsibility to ensure that this information is protected from unauthorized access. Taking safeguards using methods recommended by the district is one way to guarantee we are doing our due diligence to make certain this happens.
Keeping data safe in education is crucial for protecting student privacy. One of the most effective ways to do this is by implementing multifactor authentication (MFA) on all accounts. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access to our accounts.
To ensure the safety of SD72 staff and students, any applications or online services used in the district must be vetted in order to ensure they meet the required guidelines for use in the educational environment. Information on how to do so is located here.
Phishing is when attackers send malicious emails designed to trick people into falling for a scam. Typically, the intent is to get users to reveal financial information, system credentials or other sensitive data.
