This week on Be Connected – we’ll discuss how proactive vulnerability scanning can identify “low-hanging fruit” for attackers before they are exploited, with a special guest.

Tune in to hear from Tony Collings, Cybersecurity State Coordinator with CISA, who will share details on their no-cost Cyber Hygiene Services, which was designed specifically for K-12 districts and helps them monitor their internet-facing assets.

Join the conversation to learn how to enroll in these recurring weekly scans, how to interpret the risk-prioritized reports, and how to use CISA’s expert guidance to strengthen your district’s defense without straining your budget.
