As cybersecurity threats against educational institutions continue to rise, school leaders must strengthen their defenses and create safer learning environments. This summit is designed for returning and new attendees to dive deeper into the NIST 2.0 based Cybersecurity Rubric for Education, providing practical tools and hands-on experience to measure and improve their cybersecurity practices.
Whether you’re new to cybersecurity evaluations or looking to expand your expertise, this summit will provide the tools, knowledge, and certification pathway to help you safeguard your school system against cyber threats. Our dynamic panel featuring experts from CISA, the FBI, and districts that have faced cyber-attacks will share invaluable insights into real-world cybersecurity challenges and solutions.
Attendees will also go beyond theory in our Cybersecurity Bootcamp, where they’ll gain the skills needed to become Certified Cybersecurity Rubric Evaluators (CCRE). This interactive session offers a deep exploration of each cybersecurity domain and equips attendees to evaluate their own district’s cybersecurity maturity levels.
Join us and take the next step in your district’s cybersecurity journey!
