Firewalls alone may not be enough to stop cyber attacks. For that, there’s data science and cyber-science. Recently, KTVB evening news reported a denial-of-service (DoS) attack occurring on and off for over a week on Idaho’s largest school district Internet connection. It’s yet another example of a school district IT department having to wade through piles of system logs to find that the potential root cause was a student who hired someone to perpetrate the attack. The news report closed with the disclaimer that, “these attacks didn’t breach the network, so no student information was accessed.” The question is, when a network is breached, do school systems really have the tools they need to prevent data loss?
