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.
