TABLE1: Building Cyber Resilience with AI: A Deep Dive into the CC4E Rubric MasterClass

As K–12 schools face increasing cyber threats, building cyber resilience is no longer optional—it’s essential. This session offers education leaders a deep dive into the Cybersecurity Coalition for Education’s (CC4E) Cybersecurity Rubric MasterClass, with a specific focus on how AI is reshaping school district defense strategies. Designed for CTOs, superintendents, and edtech leaders, this interactive presentation will explore how the CC4E Cybersecurity Rubric provides a structured framework for evaluating and maturing cybersecurity capabilities across governance, protection, response, and recovery. Participants will learn how to integrate AI-driven tools and practices into rubric-based planning and risk management, enhancing their ability to prevent, detect, and respond to cyber incidents. Real-world case studies and district-tested insights will demonstrate how AI can support vulnerability analysis, threat intelligence, and training processes aligned with rubric categories. Attendees will leave with practical tools—including templates, process models, and assessment strategies—used in the CC4E MasterClass to lead cybersecurity transformation. Whether you’re just beginning or advancing your cybersecurity roadmap, this session empowers you to take actionable steps toward a safer, smarter digital learning environment—powered by AI and guided by a proven rubric framework.
