K–12 schools are rapidly adopting AI-powered tools while facing an increasingly sophisticated cyber threat landscape. In this session, we’ll break down the anatomy of a modern school cyberattack and explore how threat actors are evolving their tactics using AI to scale phishing, automate reconnaissance, and accelerate attacks. Attendees will gain practical insights into the most common attack paths targeting education today and learn what institutions should prioritize to strengthen resilience, reduce response time, and better defend against AI-amplified threats.
