Join us in episode 201, as we dive into the intricate world of cybersecurity breach coaches. We start with a deep analysis of the latest cybersecurity reports from Clever and CoSN, highlighting critical vulnerabilities and the evolving landscape of K12 cybersecurity challenges.

In an exclusive interview, journalist Mark Keierleber from The 74 explores the clandestine operations of "breach coaches"—the hired guns who control the narrative and management of school cyberattacks. Keierleber sheds light on the ethical and operational conflicts schools face when deciding between transparency and self-preservation during a ransomware crisis.
