Evaluating Cybersecurity: A Deep-Dive Using National Standards and the Cybersecurity Rubric Designed for Education

January 15, 2025
SOUTH 331C
School Leaders
Learn how to evaluate cybersecurity practice effectiveness, based on the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), Cybersecurity Framework (https://www.nist.gov/cyberframework). Access readily available (free) training, conduct self-assessments, develop continuous improvement plans, use the new education cybersecurity rubric, and find out how to obtain the cybersecurity rubric evaluator certification. Realize how to use the assessment results to develop a strategy for improvement. This learning lab is not about theory—it's about practical application in daily operations. Also, seize the opportunity to access the cybersecurity evaluator certification program and obtain a free promotion code. Participants will actively participate in a self-assessment using the national cybersecurity standards and rubric designed for education. The rubric is available in three formats (PDF, Excel, and Google). These rubrics will be available in a working folder here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/154g0bdAyOAMlVRe7tmFexylkegLfA5LZ?usp=drive_link. Attendees may also download the rubric for free here: www.cybersecurityrubric.org. Attendees will use their cyber-investigation skills by examining each cybersecurity domain in the rubric and assigning a maturity level rating by evaluating supporting evidence using the new framework and rubric. Like measuring academic performance using an education grading system from A to F, this systematic method of measuring progress is a surefire way to help school systems improve!
