Webinars: Cybersecurity

Michael Geraghty, the State of New Jersey’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Director of the NJ Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell (NJCCIC) will discuss how expecting schools to defend against criminal syndicates, who are able to launch cyberattacks from anywhere in the world day or night, is unrealistic. A more cost-effective and resilient approach is to adopt a collective defense model, allowing for collaboration on detection and sharing intelligence.

Through storytelling and lessons learned, join us for a conversation about cybersecurity highlighting core strategies for a healthier K-12 cybersecurity operation. Learn how to push it further up the K-12 maturity curve on Thursday, August 10 at 1 p.m.

Attacks on K-12 entities continue to increase and jeopardize the personal data of students and staff across school districts. Learn how to improve cybersecurity posture through student- and staff-centric cybersecurity measures that prioritize the privacy of each student and faculty member in your school.

Tune in on June 15 to learn more about transforming the ongoing threats to the K-12 ecosystem. CrowdStrike will discuss the current trends of cyberattacks and the best practices to identify, address and defeat them.

Join us as we address the rising cyber threats faced by K-12 schools in New Jersey. The webinar will cover the current security market landscape and trends, and provide insights into how schools can secure their districts and achieve cyber resilience. We’ll explore various topics such as MDR (24x7 SOC), Zero Trust, and Recovery, as well as Security Consulting and Red Team (ethical hackers/assessments) to help schools develop comprehensive security strategies to protect their networks, data, and students. This webinar is essential for boards of education, IT professionals, school administrators, and educators who are interested in improving their schools' cybersecurity and resilience.

Cybercriminals continue to launch disruptive and damaging attacks impacting U.S. schools. These attacks have escalated in frequency and impact over the past few years. This threat briefing will explore the adversaries behind these attacks and their motivations. Following the threat briefing, you will hear from a K12 IT Director and former state CISO who each embraced a strategic partnership and innovative platform to expose malicious activities and to keep attackers out of their environment.
