Ransomware attacks targeting schools are increasing steadily each year which negatively impact school districts and the communities in which they serve.
  
Dr. Linda Bluth writes: "Nationwide, school district ransomware attacks and victim experiences should be shared openly in order to assist in the prevention of new ransomware attacks. Cybersecurity school district forums should be elevated as a national ransomware prevention priority."
 
With Dr. Bluth's help, that is what NAPT® intends to do.

On Tuesday, May 11, 2021, at 1pm EST, Mike Martin, Executive Director of NAPT®, sits down with a panel of industry experts to discuss ransomware attacks and the impact of these attacks on transportation departments. The webinar will focus on lessons learned which will be reinforced with substantial information to help education communities protect the security of student data before and after a potential attack.
  
Questions can be asked live or submitted in the
