for Better Efficiency
K-12 IT teams often cite data silos as one of the biggest barriers to providing
timely and effective classroom support. The inefficiencies of juggling multiple
systems and switching between endless tabs to find needed data quickly add
up. These workflow bottlenecks slow down not only tech support but also im-
pact district maintenance, administrative staff, and teaching staff, ultimately
affecting classroom instruction.

Continuing the theme of cyber resilience, school districts increasingly rely on
third-party vendors for critical services, from IT infrastructure and educational
software to payroll and student records. This session builds on our previous
presentation on third-party cyber risk, focusing on developing stronger ven-
dor risk management strategies. Join us as we explore real-world cases and
effective response strategies for vendor-related incidents. Attendees will gain
practical insights on strengthening oversight and improving vendor risk man-
agement to enhance your district’s cyber posture.
