As a new school year begins, the 2026 data breach involving Instructure’s Canvas platform offers a timely reminder of the risks schools face when sensitive information is entrusted to technology vendors.

Join Parker Poe virtually on August 27, for a 30-minute conversation on the lessons education leaders can take from the incident. Attorneys from our Education and Data Privacy and Security teams, will discuss the legal and practical issues the breach brought into focus, along with steps schools can take now to strengthen how they prepare for future incidents.

The conversation will cover:

• What schools should consider when working with education technology vendors
• Questions to ask when a vendor reports a potential data incident
• Legal, operational, and communication considerations following a breach
• Practical ways to strengthen vendor oversight and incident response planning

The goal isn't simply to prepare for the next breach. It's to help school leaders identify vulnerabilities now and respond with greater clarity when an incident occurs.
