Education can have some unique security challenges, let’s discuss them…
Our community will focus on the security needs and collaboration that is helpful for our K12, higher education and library educational communities. Presentations, walk-ups and hands-on workshops will focus on open discussions and real-world cybersecurity experiences in the education environment.
