K-12 Report: A Cybersecurity Assessment of the 2021-2022 School Year
Published on November 13, 2022
K-12 cybersecurity personnel, IT professionals, and leaders have faced significant challenges over the last several years. They've had to wade through operational and technological complexities as a result of shifting between in-person, virtual, and hybrid schooling. Simultaneously, they've found themselves one of the primary targets of cyber threat actors as the cyber threat landscape has continued to evolve.
At the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC), K-12 schools make up more than a quarter of our more than 14,000-member organizations across the country. Leaders of those schools can use our MS-ISAC K-12 Report to make more informed decisions around the cyber risks confronting them. Additionally, K-12 cybersecurity and IT professionals can use the report to better understand the cyber threat landscape and take practical steps that improve their cyber defenses.

As of June 23, 2025, the MS-ISAC has introduced a fee-based membership. Any potential reference to no-cost MS-ISAC services no longer applies.
