Data Security
For both consumers and data managers, Data Security has become one of our chief concerns. The goal of the Logan City School District has been to stay up-to-date with security trends and implement best practices. As network administrators and a data management team we have maintained the following practices:
Data Privacy
- Regular end user training. (see the Electronic Device Policy)
- Regular system updates. (Software and hardware go through regular reviews and upgrades to assure the maximum practical security for our systems. Most software upgrades occur immediately and hardware is upgraded on an annual basis unless otherwise prescribed by our service providers.)
- Day-to-day reviews of our network usage to look for anomalies and note significant attacks on our network. (Every network gets attacked every day. The key is to identify breaches or potential breaches of the firewall before hackers have time to exploit them.)
- Regular testing of our firewall. (State level experts provide security assessments annually or as often as a need is identified.)
- Saying up-to-date on network security trends and concerns. (School district network administrators attend annual training through state and professional organizations. We also participate in monthly regional and state meetings addressing school system network issues.)
