Webinars: Cybersecurity

Cyber criminals continue to launch disruptive and damaging attacks impacting U.S. schools. These attacks have escalated in frequency and impact over the past few years. This threat briefing will explore the adversaries behind these attacks and their motivation. Following the threat briefing, you will hear from a K12 IT Director and former state CISO who each embraced a strategic partnership and innovative platform to expose malicious activities and to keep attackers out of their environment. Learn the reasons why they choose the partner and solutions implemented, the problems solved in their environments, some unexpected benefits, and how Complete protection is possible, from the tiniest to the largest environments.

Ransomware is ever-present and is a lucrative business for hackers who specialize in manipulating vulnerable networks. Cybersecurity walls are no longer enough to prevent hackers from infiltrating systems, encrypting data and holding organizations ransom for their sensitive information. As ransomware has evolved, so has the response through more sophisticated, next-generation data protection platforms. Join us to explore how you can better protect your school district’s network.

Schools are now required to be compliant with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), to filter web traffic, provide protection from cyberthreats and inappropriate content, as well as gain the appropriate visibility and controls necessary to meet CIPA, Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) compliance standards. How can you provide a consistent user experience for your students, teachers, and administrators who work on campus, from a remote location, or at home while still keeping them and their data safe?

The challenges for schools will only get more complicated with time, especially as remote, distance learning becomes the norm. With 1-to-1 device initiatives, virtual classrooms, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) policies expanding, and technology we can’t even envision yet, the trend will shift toward treating every device as if it’s not trusted. Yet students have to work as if they’re in a classroom environment and do it securely and effectively. Schools will need a way to quickly and securely scale, providing access to applications their staff and students need, without escalating cost.
Join us as we discuss how K-12 organizations can provide a secure and seamless transition for their Home Internet Access for Students that includes remote learning, as well as ensuring compliance through simple Internet safety, privacy and security policy implementation. As the Internet is utilized more and more, deeper protection is required to keep students, teachers, principals, and administrators safe without compromising the educational processes.
This presentation will:
• Address critical needs to K-12 Internet Security & Protection
• Discuss compliance requirements & standards
• Cover cost effective measures to assist K-12 Organizations

Welcome to the new world of remote work and learning! While offering many benefits for organizations, the large scale shift to remote and hybrid access also opens up additional security risks. This session will help you understand how some key steps can significantly reduce that risk including verifying authorized users, protecting users off the VPN, securing encrypted access for remote workers, threat protection across web, endpoint and email, and centralizing visibility and automating workflows.
