School districts run on email. It's how staff coordinate,
how vendors get paid, and how families stay in the loop—and attackers know it.
The threats causing the most damage in K-12 today rarely carry a malicious link
or attachment. Instead, they impersonate a superintendent asking for a wire
transfer, a vendor updating banking details, or an HR portal requesting a
password. Because there's nothing technically "bad" to scan for,
these messages slip past the filters most districts rely on.
This session walks through the attacks K-12 schools are
actually seeing, using real examples of business email compromise, account
takeover, and payroll fraud. Abnormal AI will break down how each attack works
in plain terms, why traditional defenses miss it, and what school leaders can
do about it right now. You'll leave with concrete steps you can put in place
before the next attempt lands.
Join this session to see what's targeting your district and
how to stop it.
Top 3 Actionable Takeaways:
- The email attacks targeting K-12 districts and why standard filters miss them
- The warning signs of impersonation, account takeover, and payroll fraud
- The concrete steps school leaders can take to strengthen defenses right now

The Nebraska Public Sector Cybersecurity & AI Summit is where government defends the future.
This public sector-focused event brings together IT security leaders, risk managers, and public officials to tackle the evolving cyber threats facing state and local government. Through expert-led sessions, peer exchange, and real-world case studies, attendees gain practical strategies to strengthen cyber resilience, protect critical infrastructure, and lead with confidence in an age of constant risk. Designed specifically for the public sector, this summit delivers insights you can act on and alliances you can trust!
This conference is not just about learning; it's also about connection. You'll have ample opportunities to network with colleagues who face similar challenges and share similar goals. Whether over coffee, during sessions, or at planned networking events, you'll build relationships that can support your professional journey long after the conference ends.
The need for this summit has never been more urgent. Four major Chinese state-sponsored APT groups—Volt Typhoon, Salt Typhoon, Flax Typhoon, and Brass Typhoon—are already targeting and embedding themselves inside U.S. critical infrastructure networks. With over 80% of critical infrastructure privately owned, cyber threats in these sectors pose national risks, and defending them requires unified, real-time collaboration between sectors, private companies and federal, state, and local governments.
Billington will once again bring together the most senior leaders across government, industry, and investment to discuss ways to strengthen defenses, build resilience, and deter adversaries who fully understand how a single weakness can cascade across the entire economy.
When and where will the Billington Critical Infrastructure CyberSecurity Summit take place?
November 17–18, 2026
Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center
900 E. Market Street
San Antonio, Texas 78205
San Antonio—home to Sixteenth Air Force (Air Forces Cyber), NSA Texas, the landmark Texas Cyber Command, and a growing ecosystem of critical infrastructure innovators—provides the ideal backdrop for this high-stakes gathering.
What is the theme/purpose of the event?
Securing Lifeline Sectors
Energy • Communications • Transport • Water
The interdependencies of these four sectors shape the stability of every government agency, industry, and community. A disruption in any one sector, likewise, can produce cascading effects across the entire critical infrastructure ecosystem.
