AI adoption is accelerating across every public sector and enterprise environment—but so are the risks. As agencies and organizations deploy GenAI, LLMs, and autonomous tools, security teams are struggling with blind spots, unpredictable data flows, and a lack of visibility into how AI is being accessed, used, and potentially exploited.In this webinar, we’ll explore how iboss AI Visibility & Analytics gives security leaders the clarity they need to secure AI, simplify cybersecurity operations, and modernize their architecture with a Zero Trust foundation. Attendees will learn how to illuminate AI activity across users, devices, and applications—whether sanctioned or shadow AI—and convert that visibility into actionable security controls.What Attendees Will Learn • How AI is changing the threat landscape and why traditional security tools fail to detect AI driven risks • Where AI blind spots exist today across cloud, web, and data access—and how iboss eliminates them • How iboss AI Visibility & Analytics works to identify AI usage, classify risk levels, and provide real time insights • Practical steps to secure AI adoption without slowing innovation or burdening security teams • How to simplify cybersecurity operations by consolidating controls, reducing tool sprawl, and automating policy enforcement • How Zero Trust modernization accelerates with iboss, including identity based access, continuous verification, and AI aware policies • Real world use cases showing how organizations are securing AI tools, protecting sensitive data, and preventing misuse • How to prepare your organization for AI at scale with a future ready Zero Trust architecture

Cybersecurity conversations are full of acronyms—but when it comes time to choose a solution, K-12 leaders are often left wondering what those terms actually mean, and what they’re really getting.Hosted by CESA 5, with ByteSpeed facilitating the discussion and industry experts from Arctic Wolf providing cybersecurity insight, this education focused video is designed to cut through the noise and bring clarity to today’s most common cybersecurity terminology.We will walk through concepts like EDR, MDR, XDR, and Security Operations Centers (SOCs) in plain language, with a specific focus on how these services are delivered—and what varies—across vendors.You’ll learn the difference between managed and unmanaged EDR, why two MDR offerings can look similar on paper but deliver very different outcomes, and how to spot gaps that often aren’t obvious until an incident occurs. Most importantly, we’ll share a practical, vendor agnostic framework for evaluating cybersecurity services, including the key questions schools should be asking to make informed, defensible decisions.
The front door is one of the most active, and most vulnerable, points in any building. Yet for many organizations, guest management, intercoms, and access control still operate as separate systems, creating delays, confusion, and unnecessary workload.In this webinar, we explore how deeply integrated guest, access, and intercom workflows can simplify entry, reduce friction, and improve situational awareness, without adding complexity or staffing overhead.You’ll see how Verkada’s unified platform enables a seamless experience from arrival to entry: • Guests can scan a QR code at an intercom to check in and unlock doors—no phone calls, badges, or front desk handoffs required • Intercom calls automatically surface relevant nearby cameras, providing instant visual context without searching or switching systems • Guest activity, access events, and video live together in a single platform, giving teams a complete, auditable view of who is on site and whyWe’ll walk through real world entry examples, such as scheduled visitors, vendors, after hours access, and busy school or campus environments, and show how modern workflows can reduce door delays, improve security outcomes, and free up staff time.Watch to see how rethinking the front door can make your buildings more secure, more efficient, and easier to manage.
