Join the K12 Security Information eXchange (K12 SIX) for an overview of our work, membership benefits, and forthcoming products and events.
Since 2016, there have been more than 1,600 publicly disclosed cyber incidents involving U.S. public schools, including ransomware, phishing attacks, and student data breaches. As cyber-attacks against school systems become both more frequent and disruptive, the best way to respond is to collaborate in real-time with your peers in a trusted, K-12-specific information sharing community.
The non-profit K12 Security Information eXchange (K12 SIX) serves as the nation’s K-12 Information Sharing and Analysis Center (ISAC). Founded in 2020 as a subsidiary of the Global Resilience Federation, K12 SIX leverages cross-sector information sharing experience and insights to benefit the K-12 education sector.
