Today’s K12 and Higher Ed schools face an extremely daunting mobile challenge. Students, parents, faculty, and administrators require secure online access to the school’s networks using an array of both personal and school issued devices. Regardless of where the users are or how they leverage the school’s environment, it is critical to maintain strict security and data integrity, all the while operating within increasingly tight budget constraints. This is a very difficult balancing act. Sound all too familiar? The Center for Digital Education invites you to a complimentary webinar that will investigate the critical issue of mobile security and management in our schools. We will have both K-12 and higher education IT administrators, as well as industry experts, discussing these challenges and providing current and cutting edge ideas and solutions. If you have the responsibility for managing school IT resources in today’s relentless Internet world, please join us for what promises to be an informative and thought provoking webinar.
