?? Lessons from The West Wing... and Cybersecurity! ?? I’ve been re-watching one of the greatest TV shows of all time (The West Wing, of course), and one episode struck a chord. During a White House leak, the first person informed knew exactly what to do. The legal team was called in, and they immediately took action—no hesitation, no confusion. Why? Because they had a clear protocol and had practiced it through drills. This got me thinking: Does your company know what to do in the event of a cybersecurity breach? ??? Who gets notified—and how soon? ??? What information should be shared? ??? Is there a protocol everyone knows and has practiced? Every second counts during a breach, and preparation can make all the difference. If your team hasn’t practiced, now is the time to refine your cybersecurity readiness. Drill today to protect tomorrow! ?? Special shoutout to RoundTable Technology for emphasizing the importance of practice, not just protocol! #CybersecurityPreparedness #IncidentResponse #PracticeMatters #TheWestWingWisdom #BeCyberSafe #CyberTipTuesday

???? Breaking Barriers to Cybersecurity Education ?? One of the biggest challenges in building a sustainable cybersecurity program is finding a teacher with the right expertise. But here’s the good news: you don’t need a cyber expert to teach it. Our curriculum, created and continually refreshed by industry experts, is designed to empower high-quality teachers who are ready to bring their instructional best practices to a new, exciting content area. ?? Here’s how we support teachers: ? Professional development tailored to cybersecurity education ? Instructional and technical support to ensure success ? Opportunities for teachers to pursue their own cybersecurity learning, showing students firsthand that they, too, can achieve great things We’re building sustainable, impactful programs—for teachers, students, and communities alike.

?? Multifactor Authentication: Worth It! ?? We get it—logging in, then being redirected to your email for a 6-digit code or opening your Authenticator app can be frustrating. ?? In fact, we’ve even seen full-on rebellions at workplaces when MFA is first implemented. But here’s the thing: It works. ?? According to RoundTable Technology, MFA blocks 99.9% of account compromise attempts. ?? Considering the sheer volume of cyberattacks happening daily, this stat is nothing short of staggering. So, the next time you’re grumbling about those extra 30 seconds, remember this: MFA isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s one of the most effective tools for protecting your information. ??? #CybersecurityAwareness #MFAWorks #StaySafeOnline #MultifactorAuthentication #CyberProtection #Cybersecurity #CyberTipTuesday

???? Cybersecurity Starts with People! ???? Last week, we attended the 10th Annual Greatest Cybersecurity Awareness Training hosted by RoundTable Technology, and it was packed with incredible insights! ?? One key takeaway came from Joshua Peskay, who reminded us that attackers primarily target humans—the weakest link in any cyber architecture. ?? That’s why employee training is absolutely critical to protecting your organization! ??? A huge thanks to RoundTable for hosting such an impactful event. Let’s all stay vigilant and prioritize cybersecurity awareness! ?? #CybersecurityAwareness #TrainingMatters #HumansAreTheTarget #StayCyberSafe #RoundTableTraining #CyberTipTuesday

?? BIG ANNOUNCEMENT RECAP ?? Last week, we shared the exciting news about our partnership with Dallas College and Blackswan Cybersecurity! ?? This collaboration is set to transform the cyber landscape of our communities while creating incredible opportunities for students. Each week, we’ll highlight a different aspect of how this partnership benefits students, teachers, school districts, and cyber industry employers. This week, let’s talk about the importance of work-based learning: ?? The Challenge: Industry leaders tell us there’s plenty of entry-level talent with boot camp training and certifications, but many leave the field because the reality of the work doesn’t match their expectations. ?? The Solution: ? Our partnership gives students hands-on experience through pre-apprenticeships starting in high school. ? While mastering the content, they’ll also apply it in real-world scenarios. ? After graduation, they’ll seamlessly transition to youth apprenticeships, building a robust portfolio of skills to showcase to future employers. At Coherent Cyber Education, we’re dedicated to equipping the next generation of digital defenders with the knowledge and practical experience they need to thrive. Together, we’re shaping the future of cybersecurity. ???? Stay tuned for next week’s highlight! ?? #CybersecurityEducation #WorkBasedLearning #DigitalDefenders #CTEPrograms #CyberApprenticeships #CTE #CTEWorks #AdvanceCTE #CareerAndTechEd
