Cyberattacks against school systems have escalated from isolated incidents to widespread threats, significantly impacting education and trust. The challenge for school leaders extends beyond technical defenses to strategic communication, which is crucial during breaches. Parents, staff, and media seek timely information; thus, how a school communicates can determine the severity of the fallout. Schools must develop communication plans in advance, assigning roles and preparing message templates. This proactive approach allows for a coordinated and effective response during crises, enabling schools to protect their credibility alongside their systems.
Strategic communication is no longer a luxury; it's a necessity.
In a moment of crisis, silence is not neutral, it's damaging.
A communication plan should be built into the broader cybersecurity preparedness effort.
Having pre-approved messages for likely scenarios saves precious time.
