1:00 - 1:30 Sponsor Session: iboss Mattituck Why EDU Should Defend Against Data Loss: Protecting School Networks from

Advanced Threats and Data Loss The need for K-12 schools to protect against data loss has never been more important.

Increasingly, schools hold a wealth of sensitive information on students, teachers, and staff

that if exposed can cause lasting damage. Regulatory legislation such as CIPA, HIPAA, and others have been expanded, requiring schools to be more vigilant in protecting sensitive data

or risk costly compliance violations. The loss of personal student data can cause damage that follows K-12 students into adulthood. Unfortunately, many school Web filters are not equipped

to meet the challenges of the modern threat landscape. As data theft exploits become more sophisticated, schools must ensure they have the technology needed to stop them.

In this session, you will learn:

The importance of protecting sensitive data on school networks

Why visibility over the full Web stream is critical

How behavioral anomaly baselining can protect against data loss

The critical “Must-Haves” to ensure data security in your school

Mark Ward, Director of Sales, iBoss

Sponsor Session: Identity Automation Hargrave

Doing More with Less: IDM in EDU A growing user population, a growing inventory of resources, a growing demand for service

levels...the only things not growing are your budget and staff. How can you meet the demand coming down the pipe, and what is your plan for managing it? Learn how Identity

Management can give you the flexibility to do more with the resources you have today.

Tim Till, Sales Manager, Identity Automation

Sponsor Session: Juniper Networks Eisenhower Protecting School Districts in the Age of Digital Learning with Next Generation

Firewall

Digital learning is poised to transform K-12 Education by enhancing student engagement and improving student outcomes. This will drive significant data traffic growth from digital content,

education applications, online assessments, virtual and blended learning to name a few. In turn, school districts need more control over the applications and traffic on their networks to

simultaneously protect their assets against attacks and manage bandwidth usage. Digital

learning is pushing school districts to seek out efficient security solutions that offer better protection and more control over their environment. This is where Next Generation Firewalls

(NGFWs) can help. In this presentation, attendees will learn how NGFWs can: Control what applications are allowed on school networks, and how to restrict

those that are not.

Make sure network traffic is prioritizing school district-critical operations.

Provide content and web filtering to support CIPA compliance.

Provide stronger security without compromising the school district’s operational

efficiency

Sponsor Session: Neverware Eisenhower

Are You Ready for CloudReady? In 2014, districts purchased more Chromebooks than all other computing devices combined,

but what happens to the install base of computers that are already in schools? Districts have spent years building up their computer inventory, not to mention hundreds of thousands of

dollars out already tight budgets. This intersection between innovation and access is one that

Neverware is committed to supporting. Challenge identified! Challenge Accepted! Using Google’s open source operating system Chromium, Neverware designed CloudReady.

CloudReady is a full operating system that effectively makes a computer run like a Chromebook. It can be managed under the Google Admin console, side-by-side with

Chromebooks, and delivers a seamless user experience. Join us to talk about how your

district can gain all the benefits of affordability, security, and streamlined management without the burden of buying all new computers.

Brian Cruz, Client Success Manager, SchoolDude

2:15 - 3:00 Protecting Privacy in Connected Learning Salon C&D Students and teachers are benefiting from exciting new mobile and cloud technologies. With

these new possibilities, however, come challenges. As schools turn to cloud services for applications, content, data analytics, and online assessment, protecting the privacy of student

data becomes even more challenging in a complex, shifting policy landscape. Educators,

parents, and companies must work collaboratively to assure that learning is not stifled, but privacy is assured.
