DATAG 2024 Summer Conference

In today's digital landscape, districts have implemented a range of protective technologies such as Multi-Factor Authentication, Single Sign-On, and air-gapped backups. While these measures provide a level of security, the question arises: are they truly sufficient for our evolving needs? With an abundance of data assets to safeguard, it becomes imperative to discern which merit the highest levels of protection. Enter Data Classification, a crucial process enabling districts to evaluate the adequacy of their protective technologies in alignment with their specific data demands. By systematically categorizing and prioritizing data, educational institutions can pinpoint vulnerabilities and allocate resources effectively. Join us on an exploration into the intricate galaxy of K-12 data classification, where we delve into the significance of this process in fortifying our data defenses and ensuring the integrity of sensitive information.
