The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued new guidance to assist kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) schools in addressing anonymous threats of violence on social media, and to provide steps for school officials, law enforcement and community partners to take in assessing, responding, and preparing for threats. 

The evolving cyber threat landscape makes it clear that organizations in the public and private sectors must be prepared to maintain operations and address new cyber threats and challenges as they arise – including schools that have unique security needs and considerations that require specific cybersecurity resources.
