According to recent cyber reports the number of phishing incidents/attacks hitting homes has more than doubled since the national quarantine. Districts had to quickly react and implement a strategy which would allow every student and employee the ability to access district resources remotely. While the quick reaction was necessary, there just wasn’t enough time to adequately plan and account for proper cybersecurity best practices.

This webinar will outline how Houston ISD leveraged Amazon’s Appstream 2.0 cloud-based solution to quickly respond to the crisis while at the same time minimize the cybersecurity risks associated with making an entire school district, from students to staff, remote.

Newtown Public Schools: Lessons in Campus Safety and Video Security

Wed, 27 May 2020 04:00:00 +0000

While student safety is often cited by administrators as a top priority, incident response protocols often are overlooked until a situation that warrants action occurs. Regardless of how unlikely it may seem to have a severe scenario unfold on campus, schools can’t afford to not take appropriate precautions. Investing in security measures will ensure a campus is doing all that it can to protect its students and faculty.

Register to watch this prerecorded webinar to learn from Newtown Public Schools’ Director of Security Mark Pompano, who discusses his early career and background, and how he drafted the district’s initial Emergency Operations Plan. Pompano also describes how the tragedy at Sandy Hook impacted security for the district, and the importance of safety preparedness on campus. Verkada will also provide a platform demo of how Newtown Public Schools is currently using video surveillance.

Mark Pompano
Director of Security
Newtown Public Schools (Conn.)
