Creating a Robust and Safe BYOD Program

Creating a Robust and Safe BYOD Program | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Network Security and More


Don Knezek, executive director of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE), notes that starting a BYOD program means making adjustments when it comes to security, especially protecting a district’s proprietary and secure data. That function, he says, used to be handled by an effective firewall that kept out unwanted users and their devices.

 

“Nowadays, you have to have a layer past the firewall that we didn’t have to deal with when we simply said no to user-owned devices,” he says. “Now all of a sudden, you have multiple points of entry at different levels of access, and that requires more diligence.”

One key to maintaining adequate security, Knezek and other experts say, is to have multiple networks: one for Wi-Fi traffic, one for district business and for other secure information for teachers and administrators only, and one for students and outside users of the district’s Web site.

Malicious software meets BYOD

Malicious software meets BYOD | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Bringing together two separate pieces of security research reveals vulnerability to cybercrime on an alarming scale.

 

When trying to get a handle on cybercrime today, consider this: In millions of homes across America, unencrypted company information is sitting on unprotected desktops and laptops – in the hands of employees who have had no security training.

 

At the same time, we see software being deployed that can stealthily and remotely scan the hard drives of those machines for specific data, and secretly transmit it back to the scanner.

Cyber security is an increasingly important requirement for global business and modern society. We exist in a data-centric world, where information technology and associated communications networks and services pervade every aspect of our lives.

 

This makes the protection of our digital assets and activities in cyberspace of critical importance, whether for individual life experience or a prosperous and sustainable society. But the challenge to understand cyber risk and deliver effective and accessible security becomes harder as technology continues to rapidly evolve and our systems become ever more complex.

 

We are increasingly dependent upon such information and communications infrastructures and the threats we face are organised and evolving the skills to exploit our dependency to further their interests.

Why parents should educate their kids about tech

Why parents should educate their kids about tech | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

"For parents trying to raise kids and give them the technology to be successful, yet also protect them, there's a sense that no one's there to tell folks what steps to take," said Marian Merritt, Internet safety advocate at Symantec.

 

But laying the responsibility for teaching digital citizenship solely at families' feet would be a mistake, Warren said. "It also has to be a part of ongoing education," she added, noting that kids as young as 2 now commonly use smartphones and other technological devices.

 

"I hope schools are distributing information and educating (families), ===> but ultimately, parents have a huge role to play (in the process)." <===
