Cybersecurity and schools: why is it important to focus attention on cybersecurity at school?

Cybersecurity is a critical issue for educational institutions, including schools. In today's digital age, schools rely on technology and the internet for various administrative, educational, and communication purposes. Protecting sensitive information, ensuring student and staff safety, and maintaining the integrity of educational resources are essential aspects of cybersecurity in schools.
