Board to consider adopting NIST cybersecurity framework for district systems
Summary
A district staff member said state law and the recent budget require public entities to adopt cybersecurity policies; the board is scheduled to consider a resolution endorsing the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework.
A district staff member, identified in the transcript as Mr. Morgan, told the Centerville City School Board that House Bill 96 requires public entities to adopt cybersecurity policies and recommended that the board consider adopting the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework.
Mr. Morgan said the NIST framework provides guidelines across risk identification, detection and response and that using a recognized framework would help the district align best practices with state requirements. He noted local webinars offered by a group called Cyber Ohio for guidance and training; the next webinar was listed for Thursday, Aug. 28, from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in the liaison's remarks.
A resolution to consider adopting the NIST framework was on the meeting agenda; the transcript records the presentation and background information but does not include a final board vote on the resolution within the provided excerpt.
Ending: Board members will decide whether to adopt the framework in a later action or during the same meeting after deliberations; staff cited available Cyber Ohio resources to support implementation planning.
