I’m proud to lead on legislation to help improve resources to better protect cyber security at our K-12 schools. Our bipartisan bill has support in both the House and Senate.
Check out our press conference at Des Moines Public School:
Key Components of Our Legislation:
-
Cybersecurity Information Exchange: A line of communication across schools to enhance on best practices and ensure there is adequate information for grant programs for improvement of cyber security.
-
Cybersecurity Incident Registry: Provides an official registry for schools to put in information on a voluntary basis on trends and financial impacts of cyber-attacks.
-
K-12 Cybersecurity Technology Improvement Program: Building off existing knowledge and infrastructure to maximize impact of funds given to harden against all types of cyber-attacks at K-12 schools.
I will fight every day to make sure our schools are protected, and ensure they have every federal resource to be successful.
