-WHAT WE’LL COVER
Securing the Future of Connected Education
From the Department of Education’s 1:1 device vision to the daily reality of managing thousands of student devices: this session tackles the real challenges education IT teams face today.
What it actually means in practice, why it matters for education, and how to move beyond the buzzword to real security outcomes.
The DfE's vision for every student having a device by 2030 is driving real change now. We'll explore the onboarding, security, & management challenges this creates at scale.
Should you support bring-your-own, lock it down, or embrace a mix? We'll discuss strategies for both and how Cloud NAC differentiates and secures each approach.
Go beyond day-one onboarding. Learn how identity, device health, and location work together to continuously assess and enforce access policies, not just at connection time.
Schools carry responsibility for how devices are used. We'll cover guardrails that protect students while ensuring applications work smoothly for a quality learning experience.
