K–12 schools are evolving into smart campuses, but with that innovation comes risk. IP-connected door locks, HVAC systems, surveillance cameras, smart lighting, and more are quietly expanding the school’s attack surface. Many of these IoT and IIoT devices are unmonitored, unmanaged, and unsecured, making them prime targets for cyberattacks.
In this joint session, Fortinet and ACSI will shine a light on the real and growing risk that these connected systems pose. We’ll explore:
- Commonly overlooked IoT/IIoT assets in schools and the dangers they represent
- Real-world breaches where attackers exploited smart devices to infiltrate networks
- How cybercriminals gain access into critical areas
- How K-12 IT can approach this risk and secure their school using automated threat response
This risk is often overlooked by schools. Learn how ACSI works with Fortinet to help school divisions assess, design, implement, and support secure IoT-ready infrastructure.
Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the risks in their environment and a roadmap for how to secure their division — with Fortinet and ACSI as trusted allies.
Key Takeaways for Attendees:1. Understand how IP-connected devices like boilers, skylights, door locks, and cameras are entry points for attackers
2. Learn from real-world school breaches involving IoT/IIoT vectors
3. Discover how Fortinet and ACSI can protect schools with visibility, access control, and automated protection
Don’t miss out on this informative session on how ACSI and Fortinet can enhance your security posture and reduce the cyber risk in your division.
