    • What are Zero Trust, SSE, and SASE
    • Zero Trust - everything behind it was trusted in the past, now we think everything is untrustworthy.
    • Poor handling of data by vendors
    • SASE - Secure Access Service Edge - a framework that combines network security functions with WAN capabilities to support the dynamic, secure access needs of organizations. It is particularly relevant in today's distributed and cloud-centric environments.
    • SSE - Server Side Encryption.
    • Anonymous vs. identified
    • Responsibilities of bringing them up as digital citizens.
    • Examining the strength of your identity program.
    • Student Privacy - VPNs, MFA,
    • Zero trust eliminates the doors they don’t need to see.
    • ZTNA Zero Trust Network Access
    • Raising a hacker child.
    • The impact of AI on cybersecurity - AI is only as good as the data it is trained on.
    • IT Admins have all the power.
    • Delivering an agentless solution so people can get the work done without leaving a mark on the user device.
    • Using copilots to help with security, safety, reporting, etc.
