Microsoft-Juggling Competing Priorities: Managing Safety, Resourcing & Student Outcomes
Description
The pandemic has caused administrators to worry about issues you never imagined when you accepted this job, including logistics, contact tracing, and what PPE is, much less how much you have on-hand. This era has illuminated the need for schools to be more agile than ever before, and the most innovative administrators are taking it as a challenge.
Join us to learn and see about how districts are using technology to answer the challenges of today with solutions that are going to be valuable long-term, including crisis management and teacher absenteeism. We will also discuss some of the most forward-thinking trends some administrators are taking on in order to break away from historic systems that don’t support the National College & Career Readiness Indicators.
Target Audience
Business decision makers, IT decision makers, Procurement, Operations
Presenter
Kelly Sundberg, Director of Business Applications for Primary & Secondary Education, Microsoft
CDW-G-Ransomware: Real World Guidance and Best Practices
11.17.2020,10:00 am to 11:00 amDescription
Ransomware is a common method of cyber extortion for financial gain. It’s a type of attack that instantly prevents users from interacting with their files, applications or systems until the victim pays the ransom and the attacker restores access with a decryption key. This presentation will provide an overview on the ransomware landscape today and best practices organizations should take to defend themselves and be able to respond to ransomware attacks. As the global leader in cyber threat intelligence and incident response, we will share findings and lessons learned from our work on the front lines
Target Audience
Ransomware, like many cyber threats, affects organizations holistically. While some examples used during the presentation may be more technical, this presentation is intended for anyone who would like to learn the latest in the ransomware landscape and steps their organization can take to protect themselves against this threat.
