Security practitioners and threat actors are constantly developing new techniques to gain advantages over the other. In recent years, security teams have stepped up their approaches to protecting their infrastructure by fortifying their network perimeter defenses, building up protections against advanced malware, upgrading vulnerable operating systems, automating the delivery of patches to stop exploits, and developing counter-measures to spot intruders. The threat actors looking to circumvent these measures are shifting their attention toward the next weakest link in the security chain – the user.

Imaging technology has dramatically affected the experience of K-12 teaching and classroom dynamics. From a time when the primary ways to relay information were verbal, via a blackboard or overhead projector, to the current array of computers, tablets, flat screens and projectors – deciding what to select can be complicated. Today there is a lot of focus on flat panels and projectors. However the big dilemma isn’t which technology to select, but how to support the right visual environments that help teachers teach and students learn. Whether the pedagogical style is sage on a stage, guide by the side, flipped classrooms, display-based or constructivist, getting everyone on the same page and keeping focus are key components in supporting student comprehension.

With the pressing need to provide high-speed, secure, shared networks across school districts, network security continues to be a critical issue for educators. Shared computers in labs and other common areas are available to all students and students regularly connect with myriad devices under BYOD policies. These situations keep network administrators up at night. With so many concentrated users expecting easy, anywhere access to the network, security continues to be an increasing challenge. Download this exclusive Tech Tactics to learn why many school districts have moved to a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to address these pressing issues.
