Kansas schools are unprepared for a cyberattack and are not doing enough to protect student data, state auditors found. A Legislative audit of IT security in K-12 schools released earlier this week found that, of the 147 districts (roughly half the school systems in the state) that responded to a survey 69% did not have a response plan in the event of cyber attack and 28% had not even installed anti-virus software on all school computers. The result is a financial and privacy risk for Kansas, students and families, said Alex Bardas, an assistant professor in the computer science department at the University of Kansas.
