This cybersecurity tabletop exercise with the Green Bay Area School District is where preparedness stops being theoretical and starts getting real in a hurry. This isn’t a slideshow. This isn’t scare tactics. This is hands-on, brains-on, sleeves-rolled-up readiness, and I am extremely here for it.

Here’s the thing: what people don’t understand is that tabletop exercises aren’t about finding the “right” answer. They’re about finding remembering who talks to whom, what decisions actually matter, and where things get weird under pressure. Schools are high-value, high-trust environments, and practicing how to protect them is serious work—even when we’re doing it around a table with coffee and dry erase markers.

Make no mistake, this exercise is about confidence. About giving leaders, IT staff, and decision-makers the muscle memory they need before something goes sideways. We’re stress-testing plans, assumptions, and communication paths so nobody has to improvise when it counts most.

At the end of the day, cybersecurity is a team sport. Preparation is an act of care. And running this exercise with Green Bay Area schools means investing directly in students, staff, and the community they serve.
