Access Free Cybersecurity Support at CLON
Leaders from the Cybersecurity Coalition for Education will attend CLON 2025 to introduce the newly updated Cybersecurity Rubric 2.0, a free comprehensive cybersecurity assessment tool built for schools based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0.
If you haven't heard of it yet, the Cybersecurity Rubric is designed specifically for schools. It helps you evaluate your cybersecurity efforts and provides a clear path to improvement. Along with free access to the rubric, schools can also access zero-cost training on how to use the rubric.
The coalition further supports schools by offering a Certified Cybersecurity Rubric Evaluator training program for those who want to conduct third-party, fee-based cybersecurity evaluations for schools. This training typically costs US$99 but is free for CLON 2025 attendees who attend our cybersecurity session.

Join Program Director Frankie Jackson and other Cybersecurity Coalition for Education experts for a deep dive into CR 2.0 and what it can do for your schools.
