Transformational IT and Cybersecurity Collaboration, S3E9

How do you balance technological accessibility and cybersecurity? This is a question many school districts have asked over the past several years. Particularly during remote learning, many districts challenged their preconceived notions on accessibility and cybersecurity. This led to many robust changes in districts nationwide. Special guests Doug Thompson and Henry Martin discuss how schools can best implement transformational IT. With this practice, educators ensure that sensitive data protection maintains its secure status through collaborative planning and execution. 

A key takeaway from this conversation is the power of collaboration. Doug and Henry both discuss creating innovative systems and the importance of patching and communication. These two keys are both essential to manage automated systems.
