Security at Every Age: Designing Remote Access for K-12 Networks
In this webinar you will learn:
- How a zero-trust access strategy can ease the shift to hybrid or remote work
- What you need to know about CARES Act Funding, and how to find more information for your state’s program
- Why it’s important to build a security-conscious culture through security that end-users understand
The first months of 2020 saw a 78% increase in authentications for educational organizations as compared to the previous year, the largest increase among any industry found in our 2020 Trusted Access report. When classes moved remote, the security teams defending these organizations suddenly had to update their strategies to consider users outside the network perimeter and those reliant on personal devices. Fortunately, CARES Act funding for education allows spending on technology and security to support these changes, but with limited staff and time resources, what project should you prioritize first?
Join Zoe Lindsey and Jim Salmonson from Duo Security with Stacey Arthur from Cisco’s Public Sector team for a pragmatic breakdown of strong authentication built to meet K-12 organizations’ needs, and how the CARES Act can help advance your access security strategy in 2021.
