There is no question that technology’s role in teaching and learning, as well as in school district operations, has grown exponentially in recent years. With an ever-increasing reliance on technology tools for multiple aspects of school functions, cybersecurity processes must be a top priority for all educators. Protecting school networks and information security are key requirements when it comes to effectively leveraging technology in multiple learning environments.

In this edWeb podcast, three leading superintendents join in conversation with CoSN’s Cybersecurity Project Director. Together, the panel engages in an interactive conversation regarding the reasons why cybersecurity must be a priority for school leaders. They also share effective policies and practices needed to successfully manage cybersecurity within school systems. The panel also discusses how best to adapt to technology innovations—such as AI—when it comes to keeping school networks secure. Access to multiple free CoSN cybersecurity resources is highlighted, including CoSN’s 2025 State Cybersecurity Legislation Report.

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-12 district leaders, school leaders, education technology leaders, teachers, and librarians.
