Cybersecurity Framework for Education
Cybersecurity Rubric
Get Certified
Traditional cybersecurity standards often prove too complex, costly, and ill-suited for educational settings. Enter the Cybersecurity Rubric (CR) – a game-changing framework tailored specifically for schools. Join us for an immersive, hands-on workshop where you’ll step into the shoes of a cybersecurity consultant tasked with evaluating and fortifying the defenses of Greenfield School District, a fictional K12 institution facing very real threats.
How can Superintendents, IT Directors, Digital Coaches, TOSA educators, Admins and teachers create a strategic Cybersecurity plan for their district alone?
They can’t!
That is where the NCCE IT/ Cybersecurity Summit can help!
Summit Speakers
Anu Jokinen, ClassLink
David Roberts, Ednetics
Pete Just, Indiana CTO Council
Ian Moore, State of WA
Chris Bailey, Edmonds School District
In this dynamic, interactive session, you’ll:
1. Work on a team to conduct a mock security audit using the CR framework
2. Identify critical vulnerabilities in the district infrastructure
3. Prioritize security measures based on the district’s unique needs and constraints
4. Develop a strategic action plan to elevate your cybersecurity posture
5. Present your findings and recommendations to fellow ‘district leaders’
This engaging simulation will give you practical experience applying the Cybersecurity Rubric in a risk-free environment.
You’ll leave equipped with the knowledge and confidence to become a Certified Cybersecurity Rubric Evaluator and how to implement these vital skills in your own district, moving towards a more secure school environment.
Don’t miss this opportunity to transform abstract cybersecurity concepts into concrete, actionable strategies. Join us to master the Cybersecurity Rubric and become the cybersecurity champion your district needs!
