In the education sector, cybersecurity is a critical concern for protecting student data and maintaining operations. The "Good, Better, Best" (GBB) approach offers a tiered framework for K–12 institutions to build sustainable cybersecurity programs.

Good: Establishes foundational tools and processes to protect against basic threats.
Better: Introduces more mature and robust security solutions, including automation and broader coverage.
Best: Achieves advanced, proactive, and deeply integrated security capabilities.
The GBB approach helps schools assess their current state, set realistic goals, and make incremental improvements. The focus is on progress over perfection, building resilient systems over time.
