Amity School District 4J
Code: EHB Adopted: 4/10/24
Cybersecurity
The purpose of information security is to protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of district data as well as any information systems that store, process, or transmit district data, and protect the information resources of the district from unauthorized access or damage.
The underlying principles followed to achieve that objective are:
1. Information Confidentiality: The ability to access or modify information is provided only to authorized users for authorized purposes;
2. Information Integrity: The information used in the pursuit of the district objectives can be trusted to correctly reflect the reality it represents; and
3. Information Availability: The information resources of the district, including the network, the hardware, the software, the facilities, the infrastructure, and any other such resources, are available to support the objectives for which they are designated.
The requirement to safeguard information resources must be balanced with the need to support the pursuit of legitimate district objectives. The value of information as a resource increases through its appropriate use; its value diminishes through misuse, misinterpretation, or unnecessary restrictions to its access.
This policy and accompanying administrative regulation applies to all staff and third-party agents of the district as well as any other district affiliate, including students, who are authorized to access district data and to all computer and communication devices and systems that store, process, or transmit district data.
