South Central RIC

Members of the Cooperstown CSD administration recently participated in an intense round of our Data Security & Privacy team's Game of CIRP! This tabletop game introduces #cybersecurity #incidentresponse planning, while helping familiarize players with concepts and details from their existing plans, policies, and practices. Saige and Jason led 2 teams through the game, while Brett received a crash course by participating! It was a fun and interactive tabletop that drummed up useful discussion for future work and plans for the district! #ContinuousLearning #Collaboration #Character #CustomerFocused

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.
