Choosing the Right Digital Security Tools (S2,E8)

Digital safety and cybersecurity are among the most critical responsibilities of school districts. Technology leaders nationwide are constantly evaluating new tools and best practices to develop an effective, reliable security plan that all stakeholders can follow.  In part one of this three-part series, we look at digital security tools. How do districts determine their needs, find tools that align with their strategy, and succeed with implementation of their plan?

Technology leaders from Nebraska’s Norris School District: Noel Erskine, Technology Director and Bryan Williams, Network Administrator. They discuss the key factors for evaluating a district’s digital security, how to find and implement effective tools, how to make use of grant funding for procurement, advice for other districts facing similar challenges, and more.
