Description
Increasingly, the education world is embracing anytime, anywhere learning. But the result is new
challenges for districts. How are you going to protect key assets and infrastructure when learning is
happening seamlessly from home to school to Starbucks? With bad actors across the world intensifying
efforts to steal student data and disrupt education systems, it is time to think concretely about the role
of the Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) Framework to keep children and their data safe while at the same
time advancing a new vision for education.
In this workshop, national experts on Zero Trust Architecture will utilize examples from education and
business to support the criticality of a ZTA Framework today. Using that information, participants will
engage in tabletop exercises to explore the applicability of ZTA in K-12 education and discuss key
challenges in breakout groups. Key workshop insights can inform immediate discussions and decisions
in districts.
What participants will gain from this workshop?
1. Develop a new and/or deeper understanding of a Zero Trust approach to cybersecurity preparation
that can be leveraged to frame the next major evolution of a district’s online security methodology.
2. Work alongside a diverse group of peers to contemplate implications and opportunities for Zero
Trust within the school district setting.
3. Walk away with cutting-edge information and resources regarding cybersecurity from the workshop
expert/peers that can be further developed and implemented within their own setting.
4. Establish new professional learning contacts through the interactive workshop activities for further
support and idea sharing post FETC.
FETC Workshops require an additional registration fee or premium registration. All workshops are BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) for hands on participation.
