This session will explore MyVideoSpot’s SaaS solution for video management, how it is being used at Iron County Schools, and their push that led to the integration with UETN’s IVC system.
Teachers at Iron County Schools have been using the MyVideoSpot platform for the last two years, utilizing the built in tools for uploading instructional videos, creating video and screen recordings, safely sharing videos from external platforms such as YouTube and Vimeo, and then sharing those videos with their students via the provided Canvas integration. In addition to looking at the platform, we will look at the instrumental role that Iron County played with the integration of MyVideoSpot and UETN’s IVC system. As Iron County utilizes the IVC system for their instructor led courses, they wanted a simplified solution where the recorded courses from the IVC system were automatically populated into the district’s MyVideoSpot platform. We’ll take a closer look at this integrated solution, which now gives all of the teachers at Iron County easy access to the IVC video recordings for the courses their students are taking.
Attacks against infrastructure have increased drastically in recent years, meaning securing the Wi-Fi network of schools and universities is more important now than ever. In this session, Julio Petrovitch, product manager at NetAlly, will educate the audience on how to validate Wi-Fi network security using a CyberScope Air.
Attacks against infrastructure have increased drastically in recent years, meaning securing the Wi-Fi network of schools and universities is more important now than ever. In this session, Julio Petrovitch, product manager at NetAlly, will educate the audience on how to validate Wi-Fi network security using a CyberScope Air. This session will provide practical hands-on guidance on best practices for Wi-Fi network security validation, including: - How to test for the presence or use of Wi-Fi Protected Management Frames (PMF) and/or WPA3 on secured networks - How to test and report on which networks and endpoints are using less secure WPA2-Personal - How to test for intra-SSID and/or inter-SSID access to ensure isolation is enabled - How to test for the presence of zero config networks, mDNS, Bonjour, etc. and ensure its operating as planned if enabled - How to test if managed/secured endpoints are beaconing/leaking information such as secured Wi-Fi network names, which opens an endpoint to man in the middle (MitM) or on-path attacks Once part of NETSCOUT Systems, NetAlly is now an independent company focused on developing Wi-Fi and Ethernet solutions designed to help with deployment, validation, troubleshooting, and cybersecurity. You own some NetAlly or NETSCOUT handheld tools? Feel free to bring them to the session and ask questions!
