Join this free TETL Lunch & Learn Webinar and find out everything you need to know about the TEA K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative.
What is the K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative?
To counter the rising surge of ransomware and malicious activity affecting local educational agencies (LEAs) around the state, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) submitted an exceptional item request for funding to the Texas Legislature to provide cybersecurity resources to LEAs. We are pleased to announce that our request has been approved, and we will be able to distribute in-kind services with these funds between September 1, 2023 and August 31, 2025.
The purpose of this initiative is to provide immediate solutions to protect LEAs from major cyber incidents, such as ransomware. Priority will be given to rural LEAs, and cybersecurity practitioners will be available at your regional education service center to assist with implementation of cybersecurity controls that fall within scope of this initiative.
Presenters: Melinda Dade and Lea Castillo
