K12 Security Information eXchange

The Information and Sharing Analysis Center (ISAC) for the U.S. K-12 Education Community

Established in 2020 by the Global Resilience Federation, the K12 Security Information eXchange (K12 SIX) is the nonprofit cyber threat intelligence and best practices sharing community for members of the U.S. K-12 education community.

With support from K12 SIX analysts leveraging dozens of public and private data sources and analytic tools, school and district IT teams share warnings about cyber threats, help each other mitigate potential attacks, share best practices, and develop K-12 specific guidance and resources.

Collaboration is the best way to keep pace with K-12 cyber threats. We invite you to learn more and join our community.
