Don't Get Burned: Proactive Strategies for a Safe and Secure School Year

This ManagedMethods Inc. webinar was recorded on July 31st, 2024.

Summer will be over soon, but for K-12 tech teams, the heat is just rising. The new school year brings a wave of challenges: cyberbullying, risky app downloads, compromised accounts, and even accidental data breaches by staff. And the increasing use of technology in recent years has only added complexity. 

This webinar can help you prevent these "fires" before they start. Samuel Hoch, Technology Director at Catoosa Public Schools, and Robert Batson, Technology Director at Tahlequah Public Schools, share their best practices and proactive strategies for a secure school year.
