A DAY IN GOVERNMENT & EDUCATION
Same day. Different ending.
Showing the day without Cyber6.
- 7:45 AM. Without Cyber6: Ransomware locks district files before first period. With Cyber6: Affected systems are contained and restored, following the response plan.
- 10:30 AM. Without Cyber6: A staff member gets a fake "payroll update" email. With Cyber6: They recognize it and report it.
- 1:15 PM. Without Cyber6: Staff start using AI tools with no guidance. With Cyber6: Clear, written rules and training on approved tools.
Example day. Not client data.
PROBLEMS → HOW WE SOLVE IT
What goes wrong, and what fixes it.
- Automate
- Protect
- Empower
Ransomware can close schools and stop public services
Stop ransomware and data loss
Every device gets endpoint detection and response, and backups are encrypted and tested so you know they restore. A written plan guides what happens if something gets through.
See how →Phishing aimed at staff and payroll
Make staff your first line of defense
Short, practical training and realistic practice emails teach your team to spot and report scams. Leadership sees results by team, never by individual.
See how →Student and resident data shared with too many apps
Meet compliance requirements
We explain which rules apply in plain language, close the gaps, and gather the evidence auditors and examiners ask for. Where an independent assessor is required, we get you ready and work alongside them.
See how →Too few security staff, and roles that are hard to fill
Build a cyber workforce
We run training cohorts and career pathways for employers and community organizations growing their own security talent. Training is paired with mentorship and certification prep.
See how →Staff want to use AI but lack clear rules
Train your team to use AI
Your team learns where AI tools help, what information stays out of them, and how to check the results. Training uses the tools your business has approved.
