K-12 WebinarsCybersecurity webinars
K-12 cybersecurity webinars cover the threats districts actually face — ransomware, phishing campaigns aimed at staff inboxes, vendor breaches, and the slow work of hardening identity and endpoints on a school budget. Sessions here are typically led by district CISOs, security nonprofits, and federal partners who share incident postmortems and practical control frameworks. Expect concrete checklists you can take back to a technology committee rather than vendor theory.

Inside the Attacker's Playbook: How EDR Evasion Really Works
Modern attackers are consistently finding ways to slip past Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools. This webinar explores the technical reality of these evasions, covering kernel bypasses and process injection across all major operating systems, with actionable strategies to improve visibility across cloud, identity, and network environments. Attendees will learn how advanced cybercriminals routinely evade, blind, and disable EDR solutions across Windows, Linux, and macOS using techniques like direct syscalls, API unhooking, and kernel-level driver tampering; why traditional endpoint security creates dangerous blind spots leaving XDR and MDR frameworks vulnerable; and how to beat EDR evasion by building a connected SecOps stack that unifies visibility and response. Sponsored by Lumu.

K-12 Cybersecurity Foundations: A Practical Framework for Implementing Fundamental Cyber Controls
K-12 districts face persistent and evolving cyber threats that can disrupt learning, compromise school operations, and expose sensitive student data. In this session, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) School Safety Task Force introduces its recently released K-12 Cybersecurity Foundations Resource Package, a comprehensive collection of guides, videos, and supplemental materials to help K-12 districts prevent and mitigate the most prevalent cyber threats. Attendees will walk through the eight cybersecurity objectives covered in the resources and discover customizable actions that all districts can take to build and maintain effective cybersecurity programs. Takeaways include a roadmap for meaningful cybersecurity progress aligned with district resources and needs, an understanding of how CISA frames cybersecurity as a key element of school safety and resilience, and cost-effective, practical steps backed by recognized cybersecurity frameworks. In partnership with CISA.

Purview in Practice: Stop Student Data From Walking Out the Door
A practical, K-12-focused session on maximizing your district's security and ROI in Microsoft Purview by enabling key, often-overlooked features. The session demonstrates how to gain deep visibility into where sensitive student and staff data resides across Microsoft 365—and how it's used—without creating friction for educators. Learn how enabling auditing, co-authoring, and native PDF support streamlines incident investigations, public records requests, and daily collaboration, and walk through real-world K-12 scenarios using Content Explorer and Activity Explorer to surface hidden risks in SharePoint, OneDrive, and Teams, building a solid foundation for advanced Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies. Sponsored by Levacloud.

Beyond the Inbox: Protecting Staff and Students from Evolving K-12 Phishing
Phishing in K-12 succeeds because it exploits trust, not just technology. Messages that borrow the authority of a district leader, the urgency of a payroll or benefits notice, or the familiarity of a classroom tool consistently outperform technical defenses. Staff remain the foundation of this risk, but the same trust chain now reaches students — a single compromised staff account keeps its authentic address, contacts, and message history, which means closing external student email does not close every path a trusted sender can travel. As AI makes these messages faster to produce and easier to personalize, the gap between filtering and human judgment is widening. Drawing on anonymized data from CyberNut phishing simulations across more than 100 districts, this session examines how staff-targeted attacks work, how student-facing lures still arrive even in closed environments, why AI is changing the scale, speed, and personalization of these attacks, and how to move from phishing training to broader student cyber readiness with five actions districts can take now. In partnership with CyberNut.
