Enhancing K–12 Cybersecurity Act
The Enhancing K-12 Cybersecurity Act directs the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to create a public website and database that helps schools share security tips, find government-funded tools, and apply for cybersecurity grants. It also establishes a voluntary registry where schools can report cyber incidents to help identify trends and improve national monitoring without revealing private student information. Additionally, the bill funds a program to provide tailored cybersecurity strategies, ransomware protection services, and training specifically designed for the unique resources of elementary and secondary schools. These measures aim to strengthen digital safety for K-12 institutions by improving information exchange, tracking threats, and offering direct technical support.
