REMS on the Air Podcast

The REMS TA Center draws from current data and an interview with Dr. Timothy Tillman (Chesterfield County Public Schools, Virginia) to understand the current landscape of K-12 school cyberattacks and best practices for improving K-12 cybersecurity posture.

• Where do K-12 schools and school districts fit in the cybersecurity landscape?
• What federal resources exist for K-12 schools to use in cybersecurity preparedness efforts?
• What are some high-impact strategies to help schools prevent, respond to, and recover from cyberattacks?
• What unique challenges stand in the way of K-12 cybersecurity buy-in?
• What are Cybersecurity Annexes and Incident Response Plans, and why are these important for your school emergency operations plan?
