Watch now to learn how to strengthen your identity systems to defend against these evolving threats. Tailored for K-12 & Higher Ed IT administrators, technology directors, and school leaders, this session provides actionable strategies to secure AD and Entra ID, mitigate vulnerabilities, and implement robust defenses to keep your district safe.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The Cyberattack Landscape: Why K-12 & Higher Ed identity systems are a prime target and how attackers exploit weaknesses
  • Identity Security Essentials: Proven strategies to harden AD and Entra ID against unauthorized access and breaches
  • 10 Steps to Lock Down Security: A practical checklist to protect your district’s identity systems
