“Living Through a Security Event” is a practical, experience‑driven presentation that walks organizations—especially K‑12 districts—through the realities of preparing for, responding to, and defending against cybersecurity incidents. It emphasizes legal considerations, communication strategy, cyber‑insurance obligations, and modern attack behaviors.

The April Tech Talk 2025, presented by Scott Quimby (CISSP), Senior Technical Advisor at Acture/CSI, delivers a comprehensive update on today’s rapidly evolving cybersecurity threat landscape and the operational, technical, and strategic responses organizations—especially schools—must adopt to stay secure.

The Acture October 2025 Cybersecurity Update provides a comprehensive briefing on the rapidly intensifying cybersecurity threat landscape and the real‑world attacks that impacted organizations over the past year.
