SUMMARY:Be Connected: Physical Network Security
DESCRIPTION:The strongest firewall is useless if an unauthorized person can gain physical access to your server room or a network jack in an unsupervised hallway. \nThat’s why physical network security remains as important as any cybersecurity framework. Join us on Be Connected this week as we discuss highlight several physical security areas for improvement\, including “locking and logging” IDF closets\, the risks of exposed patch panels\, and the critical importance of disabling unused wall ports in common areas. \nTune in to share your best practices for hardware security and managing the “who has a key” headache. \n____ \nBe Connected is a virtual networking series designed to spark meaningful conversations and collaboration within Illinois’ K–12 technology community. \nHosted by the LTC’s Technology Services team\, each free session centers around a different relevant topic\, ranging from infrastructure planning and cybersecurity to emerging tools\, networking strategies\, and day-to-day IT challenges. These informal yet purposeful sessions offer a relaxed and supportive environment where participants can ask questions\, share experiences\, and learn from one another. \nExplore upcoming session topics: https://www.ltcillinois.org/services/beconnected/
