Oregon K12 InfoSec Collective (ORKIC) is a free membership, unique and “formally informal” collaboration group dedicated to improving cybersecurity across Oregon's K-12 institutions. ORKIC members work to create a relaxed yet focused environment where members can openly share ideas, tackle challenges, discuss current threats, share resources and exchange Indicators of Compromise (IOCs). This informal camaraderie, professional dedication and trust helps its members improve cyber readiness for their agencies. Attendees will hear success stories, and learn how collaboration is transforming cybersecurity resilience. This session is for any IT professional and administrator committed to protecting their schools from evolving cyber threats by embracing the power of teamwork and shared knowledge.
