Friday Institute Plays Key Role in NC’s K-12 Cybersecurity Program

The Friday Institute, in partnership with NCDPI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), hosted more than 75 technology and business team members from 14 public school districts throughout North Carolina for a tabletop exercise to prepare participants for future cyber incidents in their schools.

Two participants sit at a table in a room filled with people at various tables. They are talking to each other over laptops and papers at their table.

When I think of the Friday Institute, I think of support, partnership, collaboration, innovation. When I’m in a box and I need thought leadership on any of those areas, my first turn is to the Friday Institute.
