On Demand
Session Type: Breakout Session
Delivery Format: On-Demand

As cyberthreats rise, how can education institutions protect themselves, when they can't hire or keep enough cybersecurity staff?

Outcomes: Hear about how a province faced the challenge of keeping institutions safe * Understand the benefit of security benchmarking * Gain awareness of the importance of community collaboration * Understand how shared knowledge helps in responding to digital threats
