In 2024, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) launched the K-12 Cybersecurity Pilot Program, a groundbreaking initiative backed by $200 million in funding. As threats escalate, educational institutions are increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks, ranging from ransomware to data breaches.

Building on the guidance of downloadable resources such as “Top 10 Cybersecurity Challenges Faced by K-12 Institutions,” the FCC program’s primary objective is to strengthen cybersecurity defenses across schools and libraries in the United States, empowering them to safeguard sensitive data and prevent costly disruptions.
