KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 9 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has introduced Project Cybersafe Schools, a new initiative aimed at improving cybersecurity for K-12 public school districts.
In a statement, Cloudflare said this new programme will provide a suite of Zero Trust cybersecurity solutions to give small school districts faster, safer Internet browsing and email security, at no cost, and with no time limit.
On Aug 7, the White House hosted its Back to School Safely: Cybersecurity for K-12 Schools event. With Project Cybersafe Schools, Cloudflare shared their commitment with the White House to help under-resourced and vulnerable schools better secure themselves.
“Every day, our schools face cyberattacks that can slow Internet access, threaten leaks of confidential student data, and hinder their ability to teach children in a secure online space.
“As another school year is set to begin, we are committed, in tandem with the White House, to help our nation’s schools better protect themselves so they can focus on what they do best: teaching students,” said Cloudflare co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Prince.
Unlike many colleges, universities and larger school districts, smaller school districts often lack the capacity or funding to protect against cyber threats, making schools a prime target for cybercriminals.
Eligible school districts will have access to Zero Trust cybersecurity services to help them safeguard inboxes from targeted cyberattacks; stop the leak of confidential student data; and improve overall Internet browsing experience.
