2. Program Highlight - Technology Services
Description:
CyberVision20 is a consortium that focuses on awareness and monitoring of network vulnerabilities to protect our LEAs’ Internet-facing and internal networks. The major purpose of CyberVision20 is to promote the cyber industry’s best practices, healthy cyber hygiene, and affordable tools to monitor network and system resources. Through this consortium we promote and train the use of low-cost, best-practice network monitoring tools to reduce the risk of exploitable network vulnerabilities.
This Consortium is led by Patti Holub, CTO, and Dale Harville, Information Security Officer. While we provide cybersecurity support to all our LEAs, we also have 34 LEAs that are paid members of this consortium. Paid members have access to discounted cybersecurity products and a variety of support services from our team. We are proud to share that recently Education Service Center, Region 20, was announced as a Top 50 Information Security Team winner. For Information Only. |
