TLIS Objective 2.02

Implement technology systems

Cybersecurity is entering a new era—one defined by AI-driven attacks, quantum computing threats, and an ever-expanding digital attack surface.

Institutions bear the critical responsibility of ensuring the safety, communication, and well-being of their students and staff.

Rolling out new technology in schools is never just about tools—it’s about people, culture, and values.

As independent schools face rising complexity in IT and cybersecurity, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offers a path to more resilient, scalable, and secure operations.

K–12 schools are increasingly targeted by sophisticated AI-based cyberattacks. Attackers are using artificial intelligence to generate highly convincing phishing campaigns, adaptive malware, and automated exploits at a scale never seen before.

Schools are facing a new wave of challenges: rapidly evolving AI tools in classrooms, tightening privacy regulations, and ever-present cybersecurity threats.

Cybersecurity isn’t just an IT issue—it’s a leadership priority. As cyber threats targeting independent schools continue to rise, school leaders must take an active role in protecting sensitive data and maintaining their institution’s reputation.

In our previous webinar, we explored how to build connected safety ecosystems. Now, let's dive deeper into the critical question: how do you choose the right vendor partners to make integration actually work?
