'Cybersecurity Pilot Program Launched by FCC to Defend Schools, Libraries' by Jericho Casper
Jericho Casper writes the following for Broadband Breakfast:The Federal Communications Commission announced [on Sept. 4] its $200 million Schools and Libraries Cybersecurity Pilot Program is just days away from being operational. Eligible K–12 schools and libraries can apply for funding starting September 17, with the window closing on November 1, according to the agency’s public notice. Adopted by a 3-2 FCC vote in June, the three-year pilot program will bolster cybersecurity protections for educational institutions, which have become frequent targets of ransomware attacks and data breaches due to the large amounts of personal data they manage, including addresses, social security numbers, and medical information.
