Building and strengthening cybersecurity in a district requires both a solid security plan and an effective incident response plan. This workshop walks attendees through the development of both proactive security plans to support district improvement and maintenance of cybersecurity efforts, and incident response plans to guide response during a security incident or emergency.
This workshop meets online on Wednesdays: December 2nd, and December 16th, 2026 from 2:00 – 3:00 PM ET.
