We live in interesting times and continue to face unique challenges to keep your school district safe and stable so teachers can teach, students can learn, and the staff behind the scenes can do all the important tasks that make the district function well. We are excited to return to sharing and teaching via our Tech Talks!
So much has happened since the last time we met in the Spring! The Fall session will continue our 44-year tradition of freely sharing timely information to help you and your team continue to focus on supporting, maintaining, and protecting your users and your network.
Session Topics Include:
- Learn to integrate Cisco Catalyst switches into the Meraki Dashboard for enhanced monitoring capabilities. This session will cover prerequisites, onboarding steps, and an overview of monitoring features that will be available once your switches are onboarded.
- Multiple SOCs have told us that 85-90% of the incidents they have seen in recent months are cloud-based against M365 or Google Cloud assets. As you do better and better protecting your internal resources, your cloud resources have proven to be much more vulnerable—and, in some cases, easily hackable. We will talk about steps you can take right now to lock your Google and Microsoft environments.
- Improper VPN management and controls remain the number one successful attack surface exploited. Some of you have made some pretty risky decisions regarding your VPN users. We will discuss better balancing legitimate user and vendor access with district security needs.
- Security incidents in the region on holiday weekends have continued unabated since we last met. Scott will attend the ISC2 Security Conference right before Tech Talk. He will share what the finest vendor-independent security experts worldwide say about their frontline fight against cybercriminals and the behind-the-scenes cyberwars.
Scott will also share Tech Tidbits to "catch up" on updates and security issues from the summer. - And more!
