Fall into cybersecurity

As the school year progresses, it’s a good idea to be mindful of prioritizing cybersecurity. The district’s Educational Technology Department has some important tips to help you protect your data, devices, and district resources.

1. Refrain from using the same password for personal and work accounts. Ensure that your work and personal accounts have different, strong passwords to safeguard your information.
2. Don’t leave devices unattended. Lock your device before walking away from it
3. Avoid public Wi-Fi to access district resources. Public Wi-Fi networks, like those at coffee shops, are convenient but not secure. Connect to Dallas ISD VPN for a secure connection.
4. Back up your teaching curriculum. Routinely transfer your teaching materials to cloud services such as OneDrive or Google Drive. 
5. Reach out for help. Contact the Dallas ISD IT Department or Help Desk if you need any technical assistance such as passwords.
