Webinars:

Ransomware attacks have been a threat for more than a decade, and they continue to increase in volume and level of sophistication. This webinar will highlight what you should know about defending against these threats and steps you can take to reduce the level of risk at your district.

Participants will also learn about the shared services approach that NJSBA and Edge have put in place to bring affordable cybersecurity resources to New Jersey schools. Find out how our collaborative Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) program can enable you to enlist true, executive-level cybersecurity talent to help plan your defense against threats like ransomware and evolve your security posture to provide proactive protection.

Join us to learn about how we've arrived at where we are today regarding cyber-threats, escalating/changing regulations, and compliance-laws that are shaping what is now required in cyber-security management in education. We’ll deliver a practical review of what schools all over the state and country are doing to mitigate risks and meet the changing Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) laws. We will also explain Security-as-a-Service and discuss why so many institutions are moving in that direction.

With the new academic year fast approaching, now is the time to educate your faculty and staff on how to identify and defend against Ransomware, Malware, and Data theft. Learn how to change the cybersecurity culture within your school so you can protect your students, faculty, and organization from hackers.

Learn about the new NJSBA/NJEdge Microsoft Cooperative Agreement. The webinar will provide an overview of the Microsoft products, services, and benefits available through the new contract, including security and mobility offerings. The webinar will also cover the important steps that districts need to take renew licenses under the new Microsoft agreement. The webinar is designed for both existing and potential new license holders.

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.

Higher education institutions and K-12 schools are struggling to provide comprehensive security both physically and virtually. As a leader in network security, learn how Cisco’s WebEx and WebEx teams provide integration capabilities into multiple security platforms, how these tools can speed up response time to crisis, and how they can create bridges to emergency response teams while shrinking budgets and combining multiple systems that were once in silos.
