2026 INCTO Clinic

This non-technical, story-driven session is designed for K?12 educators and school staff who want to understand why districts enforce cybersecurity rules. Using a true-crime approach, we?ll examine the ?crime scenes? of real-world cyber incidents that have impacted school districts and uncover how everyday actions, like clicking a phishing link or using an unapproved app, can lead to major consequences.

This session isn?t about firewalls or technical deep dives. It?s about helping educators understand how their decisions impact student data and district security.

This session is specifically designed to help bridge the gap between IT policies and educators' understanding. Whether you're an educator yourself or you?re responsible for helping teachers and staff understand why cybersecurity matters, this session will give you the stories, language, and examples that make security concepts relatable and memorable.
