SUMMARY:We Survived a Cyber Incident: From Readiness to Recovery Webinar
DESCRIPTION:The Sessions Everyone Was Talking About Webinar Series \nMissed CoSN2025 in Seattle or couldn’t attend every session? Don’t worry—we’re bringing the most popular\, standing-room-only presentations to you in a special webinar series. Learn from top EdTech leaders from across the country—no travel needed! \nWe Survived a Cyber Incident: From Readiness to Recovery Webinar \nThis story has a happy ending. In January 2024\, the “not if but when” happened to us. We’d been cyber-attacked\, and the bad guys were in the house. \nIt started off with a fairly normal outage. Internal sites were stuck\, and printing stopped working. We halted all network traffic as we methodically checked possibilities: power\, hardware\, network servers/services. Then\, our Manager of Network and Security found it—a service account doing way more than it should. \nHe immediately initiated a quarantine\, isolating all network traffic\, “locking the bad guys in the house” as we began our investigation. The two aims of a cyber threat actor\, 1) exfiltrate data\, 2) lock us out for ransom\, were both mitigated by his quick\, informed action. We survived with little loss to operations and no data loss\, thanks to our plan. Come hear about the preparation and lessons learned from our first cyber incident. \n\nKey Take Aways:\n\nWe shape our workshops through Adult Learning Theory\, emphasizing the expertise participants bring to the session and making ample space to apply new knowledge to existing problems. They will be reflecting on their own security plans and applying our lessons to their own situations.\nHave a plan (CIRP). The worst time to figure out your cyber security plan is the day you need one. Call your network and insurance partners NOW to discuss your CIRP\, not when it happens.\nThe guts: Know your backups and the backup solution/plan\, make sure you’re backing up all servers. Audit admin access regularly. Ensure all accounts and devices\, that can be\, are locked behind MFA.\n\nSpeakers:\n \nLuke Allpress\, CETL\, MEd (he/him/his)\nDirector of Innovative Solutions\nAgua Fria Union High School District\nAvondale\, Arizona \n \nBrandon Gabel\nDirector of Technology\nAgua Fria Union High School District\nAvondale\, Arizona
