The rapid adoption of AI in K-12 education brings exciting opportunities but also significant challenges—particularly when it comes to protecting student digital identities. Recent findings from @clever's Cybersecure Report underscore the urgency: 📱While 95% of IT staff and 90% of teachers have multi-factor authentication protection, only 5% of students have similar safeguards 🎯1 in 4 districts report increased cyberattacks specifically targeting student accounts 🤖70% of administrators believe AI is increasing cybersecurity risks, yet only 9% have formal processes to evaluate AI tools We must prioritize safeguarding student data while embracing the opportunities AI offers to education. Let’s work together to raise awareness, establish better safeguards, and create policies that ensure students' digital identities remain secure. 📊 Read the full report here: #K12Cybersecurity #EdTech #StudentSafety #Cybersecure #SETDA
