Focused Education shares information on services and resources that might be of interest to our members, to inform local decision-making and strategy development.
We understand there is a need among all citizens to develop greater awareness of how to navigate safely in the cyber-world. As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, Fortinet has made an education version of its Security Awareness and Training Service available to the K-12 sector at no-charge. Focused Education has reviewed the service, and piloted its use internally, to assess content and implementation requirements. We see value in the content which addresses a gap in available resources for K-12. Having the content modules offered in both English and French is a benefit to the Canadian context.
We encourage members to review this information from their district and independent school perspective, to determine whether, when, and how they might use this resource.
