Schools are a frequent target for ransomware attacks, resulting in skyrocketing cybersecurity insurance premiums and a higher bar for coverage that often includes MFA mandates. The speakers will offer attendees numerous insights surrounding the implementation of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in K-12 settings, including how to proactively identify which of your users are at risk and how to enhance security with flexible MFA. They'll also discuss the implementation of best practices to comply with today's ever-increasing number of cyber insurance provider mandates.
