ePlus Technologies-Vulnerability Management as a Service
4.15.2021,11:00 am to 12:00 pmDescription
ePlus provides Vulnerability Management as a Service on the MEEC Contract. Attacks resulting in data loss are usually performed by exploiting known and documented security vulnerabilities in software, network infrastructure, servicers, workstations, phone systems, printers, and employee devices. Although important, managing these vulnerabilities is often time-consuming and expensive – so they are often left unpatched or partially patched. We will discuss building a program around this issue and how VMaaS can help.
Target Audience
Cyber Security, IT Compliance, and IT Infrastructure Analysts, Management, and Engineers

Wheeler, CISSP - Client Security Principal

Visual Systems Group, Inc.-Poly - Hybrid Learning for MEEC Members
4.6.2021, 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm
Description
For today’s students and educators, the “new normal” presents both
new challenges and unique opportunities. Rather than choosing between in-person
or remote instruction, teachers and their students are now planning for a
hybrid learning model, one that combines high-quality audio and video, is easy
to use, and allows for maximum flexibility.
Learn how video, voice and content sharing solutions will empower educators to
deliver exceptional, high-impact learning experiences in and out of the
classroom. Keep everyone safe while making collaboration easier, faster and
increasing productivity.
We will demonstrate how:
Educators who are teaching students from their homes want the freedom to move
around just like they do in the classroom
Camera tracking technology allows instructors to move freely about the room
even when wearing masks.
Eliminating the need to worry about the technology greatly improves the
teaching experience.
Setting up a classroom is a breeze with a simple USB connection that becomes
your all-in-one high-definition camera, room-filling speakers, and beam-forming
microphone.
Learn how we can help meet your specific and unique needs and achieve your
project outcomes with the latest in hybrid learning technology. Register today!
