SUMMARY:Be Connected: Network Segmentation - Reducing Risk in School Environments
DESCRIPTION:As our school networks grow and become more interconnected\, so do potential security vulnerabilities. Breaking up that susceptibility can help prevent a small breach from becoming a big headache. \nThis week on Be Connected: join us for a discussion on network segmentation\, a powerful strategy for isolating critical systems and reducing the attack surface. We’ll explore practical ways to implement segmentation\, discuss the benefits it offers in mitigating cyber threats\, and share real-world examples of how it can protect your district’s data and infrastructure. \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/
