Tabletop discussion – Cybersecurity Day

Location:  CVES Conference Center, 1443 Military Turnpike, Plattsburgh

No Charge to attend

Event Overview:

In today’s digital landscape, K-12 schools are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals and face evolving risks—from ransomware attacks and insider threats to complex identity management challenges. CVES, in partnership with SHI, invites district leaders, IT teams, and administrative staff to a dynamic, hands-on Cybersecurity Day specifically designed to address these issues in the school environment.

Our event combines expert-led presentations with a unique, interactive tabletop exercise. Together, we’ll explore current cybersecurity trends, practical strategies for safeguarding student data and classroom technology, and walk through a simulated cyber incident scenario that brings theory to life. This is not a vendor sales pitch, but a practical, collaborative learning opportunity.

What Makes This Event Unique?

• Real-World K-12 Focus:
  All content is tailored to the unique risks, compliance requirements, and operational realities of school districts.
• Interactive Tabletop Exercise:
  Experience a guided, multi-stage simulation based on CISA and FBI scenarios. Work through a timeline of events—from initial cyber alerts to disruptive phishing and payroll issues—demonstrating how seemingly unrelated incidents can escalate into a district-wide crisis.
• Collaborative Problem-Solving:
  Break down silos between IT and administration. The exercise encourages open dialogue, collaborative strategy development, and critical thinking across district teams.
