Managed EDR and assessments
TEA describes managed endpoint detection and response and Texas Cybersecurity Framework assessments through DIR service paths, with eligibility and capacity conditions.
Texas K–12 Cybersecurity Initiative
A clearer path through the state initiative.
TEA's initiative brings together statewide services and regional assistance. Region 10 can help schools understand options and find the right provider path; the school system decides which actions to take.
Know who does what.
Funding, enrollment, service delivery, and regional guidance are not the same role. These routes summarize TEA's current public program page. Verify the latest eligibility and availability with TEA or the named provider before committing.
Cloud email security
TEA lists cloud email security through the University of Texas Regional Security Operations Center. Follow TEA's current enrollment instructions.
Awareness and phishing
TEA lists security awareness training and phishing simulations provided in collaboration with TASI. Confirm the current onboarding path for your school system.
Cloud hardening and deployment
TEA lists Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace hardening guides and a software-deployment solution. Ask Region 10 about the local sign-up route.
Service descriptions summarized from TEA's K-12 Cybersecurity Initiative page; eligibility, availability, and provider instructions should be checked there. Region 10 assistance is advisory. Sources checked October 17, 2026.
