Insights

Earlier this year, we released our 2024 Impact Report, highlighting Cambium Learning Group’s collective work to ensure educators feel empowered and, in turn, accelerate learning outcomes. The report exemplifies how the Cambium Family has turned moments into momentum over the past year, demonstrated by real-world case studies from the Cambium brands. In this blog series, we will take a deeper dive into those featured case studies and the transformative impact of the Cambium family. Read on to learn how Cambium invests in a robust security infrastructure to keep its solutions safe for all who use them.

School districts around the country experience an average of five cyber incidents per week, making the need for continual data protection paramount. With so many aspects of K-12 education now taking place or being stored online, districts have large amounts of data they need to protect, much of it sensitive. For districts that invest in supplemental learning tools, it’s equally important to ensure the data those tools collect and store is secure.

At Cambium, we know that vigilance towards digital security translates to a safer learning environment for students, teachers and administrators. That’s why our team continues to invest in the necessary cybersecurity infrastructure that keeps our clients safe. 

As we celebrate October’s Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we wanted to highlight some of the ways we’re protecting the data of those who matter most. 

Industry-leading security to protect our educational community

In today's digital education landscape, protecting sensitive data is paramount.

Cambium continues to invest in our robust security infrastructure, ensuring the millions of students and educators who rely on our solutions receive the highest level of protection verified by third-party experts.

Building on Our Strong Security Foundation: Cambium’s security practices continuously meet and exceed industry standards through our comprehensive cybersecurity awareness approach. Our dynamic training program features engaging monthly modules that strengthen our ability to safeguard educational data against emerging threats.

These sessions offer practical protection strategies with interactive elements and tracking dashboards, proven effective against sophisticated threats to educational institutions.

Verified Security Excellence: Third-party verification confirms Cambium’s security metrics consistently outperform industry benchmarks:

• Security awareness metrics exceed expectations of regulators for annual cyber security awareness training

• Internal users of our systems and technology receive customized, just-in-time training for their role, resulting in strong satisfaction scores on internal surveys

• Third-party security certification and continuous improvement are top priorities for all solutions

• Constant testing (both internally and with third parties) is conducted to identify vulnerabilities and solutions for any issues that arise

In the span of a year, Cambium employees participate in more than 230K minutes of security training, ensuring our protection capabilities continuously evolve to address the changing security landscape.

Why This Matters for Education: Every time an educator logs into our systems or a student interacts with our learning platforms, they’re placing their trust in Cambium. By making security awareness an integral part of our culture, we ensure that this trust is well-placed and protected.

• Educators can confidently use our tools with the assurance of best-in-class data protection

• Students can engage with digital learning experiences in a verified secure environment

• Administrators can trust that their school community’s information receives the highest level of protection

By maintaining our position at the forefront of educational data security, we enable the entire education community to focus on their core mission: creating powerful learning opportunities for every student.

Diligence to cybersecurity, year-round
