Lessons learned from surviving a cyber incident and how to prepare for one.

What really happens when a school district is hit by a cyberattack? In this session, two K-12 CTOs share their personal experiences dealing with a cybersecurity incident, walking through how they discovered, investigated, mitigated and remediated the attack while navigating its many complexities. Hear candid lessons learned from technology leaders who have lived through it, and explore why transparent communication and thorough planning are two of the most important components in keeping your district network, systems and data secure. The session also highlights the value of collaborating with all K-12 stakeholders during the preparation process, not just once an incident is underway. You will leave with a clearer picture of how to handle a cyber incident from investigation through remediation, and practical insight into how to prepare your own district before an attack occurs.
