Cybersecurity remains a top priority for K–12 IT leaders, but limited budgets and resources make it difficult to keep up with evolving threats. In this session, we'll explore how E-rate eligible solutions such as managed firewalls, DDoS protection, and content filtering can help schools strengthen their defenses and modernize their infrastructure. We'll also highlight how these services align with the FCC’s Cybersecurity Pilot Program and support long-term digital learning strategies.

Attendees will learn how to:

Implement a network segmentation strategy that provides east-west visibility and separates vulnerable entry points and guest traffic from critical network components
Establish and activate isolation policies to immediately quarantine affected parts of a network, protecting the rest of a school's network from attack
Utilize DDoS protection solutions to minimize the impact of attacks on latency and downtime
