Whenever we start anything new in our professional lives, i.e., Job, Roles, or Projects, we should always ask ourselves, "What's Different Now?" This is especially true when addressing K12 Information Security. So for K12 Security, what's Different Now? 1) The access to, and the volume of, online content (both good and bad) is exploding... 2) Tried and True Security technologies are on the border of obsolescence... 3) The front lines of the Security Battle is no longer at a distant land, it's at your doorstep... The result: It's getting harder to keep students safe while supporting virtual tidal wave of demands by administrators, teachers, and students alike. What can you do? We've found the top key Security Measures that are commonly ignored by K12. We'll discuss why they are important, how they help, and what questions you may want to start asking as you review your own risk postures. While most security presentations focus on the latest bad news, this presentation will focus primarily on solutions rather than problems.
