Automating account provisioning, RBAC, and least privilege is a great way to reduce human error and access sprawl. It's also more convenient for users, so it's the rare trade-off where added security = friendlier UX. Dynamic Groups are the cornerstone of how we manage that flow.

KASM is one of my favorite tools for privileged workstation usage (and a bunch of other stuff!). This is the 4th tutorial in the series on KASM, and this time focuses on setting up SSO using Microsoft and delegating container assignments based on Entra group. #k12cyber #homelab

Starting to see some numbers on the breadth of the PowerSchool breach. My estimate was 50M... didn't think I'd be shooting so low. #k12cyber www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...
Great read from K12 Dive about the PowerSchool breach. As a bonus, it also references the webinar with K12SIX that I was honored to be take part in. #k12cyber www.k12dive.com/news/powersc...
The only part that doesn’t sit well with me about the cyber pilot is that after rumors of being tied to erate discount %, the messaging was that the FCC wanted to reach a broad range of districts, not just high F/R lunch. The reason I received for not being funded? My F/R % was too low. #k12cyber
Lots of schools getting good news today as the FCC sent out approval notifications for the Cybersecurity Pilot grant to 645 schools and districts, 50 libraries, and 12 consortia, the vast majority of which were approved for full funding. Hopefully this is just the tip of the iceberg! #k12cyber
What's this? Recording an episode of the Zero Breach Zone with everyone in the same room at the same time?! It was an absolute joy getting to chat with Dr. Sheryl Abshire at FETC. Release date TBD, but soon! #k12cyber @phintz.bsky.social @sherylabshire.bsky.social @edtechirl.com
