Cyber incidents in K-12 schools are so common that, on average, more than one occurs each school day. Yet most districts lack the time, tools, or staff to keep up.
That’s why school leaders nationwide are making time for ClassLink CyberSession—a free, expert-led virtual event to help strengthen your defenses.
In just two hours, you’ll hear from cybersecurity experts, discover federal initiatives offering support, and learn from a district that cut cyber insurance costs using the free Cybersecurity Rubric.
You’ll also get a first look at new ClassLink tools designed to improve cyber resilience across your schools.
