Securing "Internet of Things" Environments

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are becoming more commonplace at many schools. The problem is, they’re also susceptible to cyberattacks, putting students and staff at risk.

Join us to hear about the importance of automating security, and how to continue using the best classroom technology for your students, in a way that keeps schools secure, student information private, and infrastructure updated.
