Webinars: School Security

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.

Most districts are not prepared to manage the increasing number of continuous malware, ransomware, and phishing attacks being encountered as a result of the move to virtual learning. During this webinar K-12 districts will learn how to use Cortex XDR Pro to automate the Alerting process. Most districts use tools that generate lots of noise and offer no in depth information into what is happening on their networks This session will allow districts to see how fast they can take back control of their network, all of the time.

The upcoming school year will have more distant learning, which means more people will be accessing your network than ever before. Prepare your district to guard against potential cybersecurity attacks with targeted security training to improve skills and defend against threats.

BYOD trends are growing exponentially, adding complexity and risk to the tasks of network — and student — protection. More than 100 K-12 school districts across the U.S. were subjected to internal and external cyber attacks in 2018 alone. These network security challenges force districts and schools to exhaust resources on digital crime scene cleanup and incident response. Blind spots such as partial asset lists and little-to-no visibility of what’s on a network create risks to school and community safety. Join this webinar to learn how to improve your security posture, comply with Title I inventory requirements and maximize ROI on your IT resources.

In K-12 districts, personal information is everywhere. Students, teachers, and employees' personal, financial, and healthcare data exist throughout district campus networks. Districts are struggling with the legal and moral responsibility to protect student and staff personal information. During this webinar, experts from VMware’s networking and security team will explain how and why school environments are prime targets for digital attacks, review modern architectures around software-defined networking, and will provide information on securing networks. Learn how other districts have leveraged this architecture to build secure digital schools.
