Data and Applications Security: Developments and Directions

“Better safe than sorry” isn’t always as simple as it sounds. Security threats from the Internet and other technologies are very real, and schools have an obligation to keep their students, staff, and property safe, but implementing drastic security measures can often create an environment of fear and significantly reduce teachers’ ability to provide students with a high-quality education.
