ELP-Admin Partner CTL is providing a timely 2 part course on handling cybersecurity incidents. Check out the details below and sign up via the registration link. Moving past the "Vendor Breach Awareness" phase to actual K-12 Cyber Readiness Recent K-12 cybersecurity incidents are a stark reminder of a harsh reality: district risk doesn't just vanish when a vendor restores their services. Exposed data continues to fuel highly sophisticated, relationship-aware phishing attempts long after the initial breach is closed. If you are a tech leader trying to figure out how to shield your district from the inevitable vendor cyber breach aftershocks, CTL is hosting a 2-part interactive course to help you out: Part 1 (June 23, 2026 @ 10:00 AM PST): The Breach Aftershock: Vendor Risk, Relationship Data, and the Phishing Surge Part 2 (July 15, 2026 @10:00 AM PST): From Breach Response to Cyber Readiness: Building a 30/60/90-Day Hardening Plan This course is facilitated by Diane Doersch, former school district CTO and Senior Director of Technology. Attend to receive a highly practical, scenario-based workshop grounded in the NIST framework. You’ll engage in real-world crisis simulation, isolate your top three highest-impact cyber risks, and leave with both a concrete 7-day action plan plus a 30/60/90-day infrastructure hardening roadmap. Spots are limited because of the interactive planning nature of the sessions, so register today. On vacation? No worries - you can partake either live or on-demand. Secure your spot here: https://ctl.net/blogs/ insights/after-the-incident- moving-from-vendor-breach- awareness-to-cyber-readiness- in-k-12-districts Part 1 will cover "The Breach Aftershock: Vendor Risk, Relationship Data, and the Phishing Surge." Participants can expect to learn: Current K–12 District Risks: Understand how recent cybersecurity incidents connect to the ongoing, real-world vulnerabilities facing school districts today. Relationship-Aware Phishing: Learn how bad actors use exposed, publicly available information to craft highly sophisticated and believable phishing attacks. Cybersecurity Framework Alignment: Discover how to map these specific digital risks directly to the NIST CSF and the K–12 Cybersecurity Rubric. Priority District Actions: Identify the immediate, high-priority steps your district needs to take right now to secure its infrastructure. Real-World Incident Response: Practice critical, fast-paced decision-making through an interactive, realistic school district crisis scenario. Gaps and Best Practices: Analyze common response patterns, uncover hidden security gaps, and explore promising industry practices during a group debrief. Immediate Next Steps: Translate your workshop takeaways into a tangible readiness checklist and a concrete seven-day action plan.
