Cybersecurity Without the Federal Cushion

As federal cybersecurity support recedes, district technology leaders are absorbing more risk with fewer resources. How do you protect your district when the prior protections of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) are no longer there to lean on? In this round table discussion, experienced K-12 technology leaders from CoSN and school districts explore the realities of operating without that federal cushion. The conversation covers breach response, AI governance, and data privacy, the areas where districts now carry greater responsibility. Bring your questions and experiences to share with peers facing the same challenges. You will leave with a clearer understanding of how to mitigate cybersecurity threats in this new environment and practical perspectives to help your district respond to breaches, govern AI responsibly, and safeguard student and staff data.
