The GFESC Technology Coordinator just wrapped up an intense two day training with our CIRT (Cyber Incident Response Team)! 💻✨ Technology Coordinators from 14 of the 15 Arkansas Education Service Cooperatives participated. Big thanks to our ACTCs (Arkansas Cooperative Technology Coordinators) and SAS OST (Shared Administrative Service - Office of State Technology) for their dedication.
