CISA Unveils New Cybersecurity Resources for K-12 Schools and Districts

CISA released new cybersecurity resources targeting K-12 schools and districts. The announcement coincides with conflicting reports about ransomware trends in education, with one source claiming attacks declined in the first half of 2026 while others highlight growing threats to schools.

Why it matters: K-12 administrators and IT teams need these resources to protect student data and operational continuity; ransomware groups continue to view schools as accessible targets despite fluctuating attack volume.
