Cyber Ready: An ATLIS Leadership & Technology Workshop

Don't wait for a crisis to find out how your school would handle one. Most schools don't find out where the gaps are in their cybersecurity plan until they're in the middle of an actual incident. By then, it's too late to practice.

This two-day virtual workshop gives your team the chance to work through a real cyber incident together, before it happens for real. You'll test your plan, find the gaps while the stakes are still low, and leave with practices you can actually use.

Day 1: For Your Senior Leadership Team
Audience

Anyone on your school’s senior leadership team: Heads of School, CFOs and Business Officers, COOs, Directors of Communications, Directors of Safety/Security, and other senior administrators

Day 1 is built for your admin team to attend together.

Cybersecurity decisions get made, or get stalled, at the leadership table, so this day gives your whole senior team a shared, working understanding of your school's risk. No technical background required.

You'll:

  • See your team's results on the ATLIS Executive Cybersecurity Snapshot, a quick self-assessment built for exactly this conversation

  • Hear directly from a Head of School and a CFO from other independent schools, sharing how they think about cybersecurity alongside everything else competing for their attention

  • Work through a live tabletop exercise simulating a real cyber incident, then run your own version in breakouts. You'll make the same calls your school would actually have to make

  • Get a plain-language briefing on cyber insurance: what's covered, what's excluded, and what your policy expects of you

  • Leave with an introduction to your school's incident response runbook and a signed Commitment Sheet naming your school's next three priorities

What you'll walk away with
  • Your school's results from both the Executive Snapshot and the Full Cybersecurity Assessment, benchmarked against peer schools

  • A completed leadership Commitment Sheet with named owners and real check-in dates

  • A prioritized technical roadmap your technology team can start on right away

  • A leadership team and a technology team who've actually practiced this together, not just talked about it

Day 2 is a technical deep dive. Click here to learn more about what the Day 2 entails.
