South Central RIC

Just like in the gym, building strong #cybersecurity practices requires consistent training, accountability, and the right workout partners. The #SouthCentralRIC Data Security & Privacy team partnered with Sherburne-Earlville Central School District to highlight their approach to #datasecurity and privacy compliance in #K12education. The team presented how Sherburne-Earlville spots risks before they become breaches, develops a training regimen that keeps staff engaged, and flexes their security muscles with real-world exercises that strengthen data protection across schools.
