Join us for a groundbreaking new initiative to support schools on their journey toward becoming cyber-secure. ClassLink and ENA have teamed up to create a coalition of ed-focused organizations dedicated to this cause. Introducing the Cybersecurity Rubric (CR) for education, an easy-to-use tool informed by NIST and other relevant cybersecurity and privacy frameworks. Say goodbye to the complexities of past standards and frameworks! Instead, this tool will help K-12 practitioners to self-assess their cybersecurity environment and be used for continuous improvement. Attend this webinar to gain exclusive access to the rubric, training, and a waived exam fee to become a CCRE (Certified Cybersecurity Rubric Evaluator).
Today, technology procurement is more complex and involves more stakeholders than ever before. Working closely together, purchasing teams and technology teams must determine which products and services offer safe and secure systems at the best price and value while meeting compliance regulations and purchasing guidelines. Join this webinar to learn how technology teams can work with purchasing teams to better understand their role in the RFP process and how we may develop strategies to design more comprehensive RFPs. In this webinar, you’ll learn about using data privacy agreements to mitigate risk and manage data, examining how Technology and Purchasing teams can work together to meet the objectives of a project, and inspecting key processes to ensure technologies being purchased follow compliance, security, best value, and regulations.
In the third installment of this series, Amy McLaughlin (CoSN) discusses the key technologies for protecting schools and data, the limitations of technologies as an essential safety net, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and Backup and recovery.
In the second installment of this series, Amy McLaughlin (CoSN) discusses the cybersecurity challenges facing K-12 school districts today. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to take a systematic approach to your cybersecurity in addition to how to design and build security policies into your district’s processes and procedures.
Cyberattacks against K-12 schools are a serious and ever changing threat—and they’re on the rise. In this webinar, Amy McLaughlin (CoSN) discusses the most common threats to school districts, provides proactive steps districts can take to protect their systems and data, and shares resources to empower school districts against cybersecurity threats.
The U.S. Department of Education's Digital Equity Education Roundtables (DEER) initiative seeks to close the digital divide and enable all learners in PK-12, higher education, and adult education to unlock technology-enabled opportunities and fully participate in a digital society. In this session, the Office of Educational Technology (OET) will share key takeaways from the DEER Initiative and how these lessons may help leaders build effective digital equity plans under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). OET will also discuss role of different sectors in the digital equity ecosystem, including local leaders, in supporting digital inclusion efforts for learners, families/caregivers, and communities.
