3 Keys to Security and Compliance for Your School
The implementation of technology in schools supports personalized learning and drives student-centered outcomes. However, it also broadens the school's digital landscape, which can make schools a target for cyberattacks. In fact, 60 percent of US K-12 data breaches in 2018 included student data.
What's more, schools are filled with inquisitive minds and students and teachers often use any available technology to fulfill their learning needs. This further opens the door to breaches through unsecured apps and devices. As a result, many schools choose to automate their defenses against outside threats through intelligent technology.
Share this eBook with your prospects to educate them on the steps they can take to protect their schools with the adoption of intelligent technology.

It's 2020. Do You Know Where Your Digital Future Is?
In most of our homes, we utilize and depend on the cloud in multiple ways every single day—think online banking and shopping, social media, email and doorbell video cameras. "It might be the first time in history that our habits at home have outpaced how we function at work," writes Tyler Bowman in his Forbes article, "It's 2020. Do You Know Where Your Digital Future Is?"
Bowman addresses three main lingering concerns in the corporate world, including generational divide. "Millennials are driving a market disruption that many CEOs are grappling to embrace," Bowman adds, however, that this difference does not need to result in irreconcilable work practices and values.
