  • IT Security and Network Services
     
    The APS IT Security and Network team implements and maintains the processes and systems designed to protect district, student and employee information that is digitally collected and housed. As APS becomes ever more reliant on technology and the computing environment for instruction, student assessment testing, educational record keeping and data access, the work of IT Security become more critical.


    The group works actively to:  

    • Provide a clear security regulations, standards and guidelines framework. 
    • Inform and educate the APS community about cyber security. 
    • Monitor and manage access to district systems. 
    • Proactively manage information and network security risk. 
    • Quickly respond to, contain and manage security incidents. 
    • Ensure operational continuity and rapid recovery in the event of an emergency situation.
