When it comes to physical school safety, K-12 districts are generally well-prepared and understand the risks when planning for fires, severe weather, or lockdowns. However, the situation is different when it comes to cybersecurity.

As discussed in a previous episode—episode 54 with K-12 Six’s national director, Doug Levin—preparation and response plans for cyberattacks across the country are often disjointed and inadequate.

In this episode, Ed Vasko joins Susanna Song to explore the data points and anecdotes from episode 54, bringing them to life. Together, they speak with Rabih Hamadeh, Tucson Unified School District’s executive director of technology services, who witnessed a threat escalate into a ransomware attack.
