SUMMARY:Creative Information Technology\, Inc. Webinar: The Ethics-First Approach to AI Governance in Higher Ed
DESCRIPTION:As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in teaching\, research\, admissions\, and student services\, higher education institutions face a critical question: how can innovation be balanced with responsibility? This webinar explores an ethics-first approach to AI governance—one that places transparency\, fairness\, accountability\, and human oversight at the center of institutional decision-making. \nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of the ethical risks associated with AI in higher education\, including bias in algorithms\, data privacy concerns\, and the implications of automated decision-making on student outcomes. The session will also highlight practical governance frameworks\, policy considerations\, and real-world strategies that institutions can adopt to ensure AI systems align with academic values and public trust. \nDesigned for academic leaders\, IT professionals\, policymakers\, and compliance teams\, this webinar will provide actionable insights on building responsible AI practices while still fostering innovation. Attendees will leave with a structured perspective on how to develop\, implement\, and sustain ethical AI governance models within their institutions. \nPresenters: Mo Hasan – AI SME \nIntended Audience: Higher ED CIO’s and IT CIO’s

SUMMARY:Skyline Technology Solutions Webinar: Beyond the FIrewall: Why the Browser is Your New Perimeter
DESCRIPTION:Most organizations don’t realize that the browser is the largest hole in their security posture. This is supported by recent news from Anthropic’s Project Glasswing\, where Claude Mythos discovered thousands of unknown vulnerabilities across every major consumer-grade browser. \nStudents input data into GenAI tools\, educators access student data\, municipal staff manage infrastructure\, and contractors interact with SaaS applications using the browser. This webinar\, hosted by Palo Alto Networks\, aims to educate the Maryland public sector with the following information: \n\n“How can the browser become the tip of your security strategy\, rather than a vulnerability?”\n‘With the advent of enterprise browsers\, how can I make the browser a strength for users\, rather than their biggest weakness?’\n\nPresenters: Bill Polish\, Prisma Browser Specialist\, Palo Alto Networks; & Rick Fairhurst\, Skyline Partner Manager \nIntended Audience: K-12 members

SUMMARY:DALY Webinar: Building Safer Learning Environments
DESCRIPTION:Security cameras are in 93% of public schools—but having cameras isn’t the same as having security. Many Maryland educational institutions are operating with aging\, disconnected systems that were installed years ago and no longer reflect the realities of modern campus security. \nThis 40-minute webinar\, presented by DALY Computers\, offers MEEC members a vendor-agnostic look at the current state of physical security in educational environments. We’ll cover what’s changed in security technology over the past five years\, the unique challenges facing K-12 and higher education\, and a practical framework for building a security roadmap—regardless of budget constraints.\nTopics include: \n\nThe “”islands of security”” problem and why integration matters\nComponents of modern physical security: video\, access control\, sensors\, visitor management\nCloud vs. on-premises options: understanding the tradeoffs\nKey considerations specific to K-12 and higher education\nCommon mistakes to avoid\nA four-step approach to building your security roadmap\n\nThis is an educational session\, not a sales pitch. Attendees will leave with actionable insights they can apply to their own institutions.

SUMMARY:Microsoft Webinar: Preventing the next district wide incident: Identity\, access\, and ransomware in K-12
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to join the Microsoft Education team to learn about preventing district-wide cybersecurity incidents with the Microsoft tools that you already own\, and advanced solutions that build on your current investment. \nOption 1: Tuesday\, May 19\, 11:00 AM – 12:00 AM EST Signature Series | Preventing the Next District Wide Incident: Identity\, Access\, and Ransomware in K 12 \nOption 2: Tuesday\, May 19\, 7:00PM – 8:00 PM EST Signature Series | Preventing the Next District Wide Incident: Identity\, Access\, and Ransomware in K 12 \nK‑12 cybersecurity conversations often focus on ransomware\, phishing\, and protecting student data\, but most real incidents don’t start there. They start with identity. \nIn many school districts today\, administrative access still exists because “we need to get things done.” Accounts remain over‑permissioned\, admin access is always on\, and devices and systems are managed broadly with little segmentation. When one of those accounts is compromised and eventually one will be. The result isn’t just an incident.\, It’s a district‑wide blast radius. \nIn this session\, we’ll explore why identity and access security is the foundation of ransomware prevention\, and why simply enabling MFA isn’t enough. Using real‑world education scenarios\, we’ll break down how a single compromised admin account can provide access to every school\, every device\, and every critical system and how modern identity controls can dramatically limit the impact. \nWe’ll also connect identity security directly to ransomware readiness\, showing how districts can move from “hoping a breach never happens” to designing for containment and recovery. The goal isn’t to stop every breach\, that’s unrealistic in today’s threat landscape\, but to ensure that when something does happen\, it doesn’t become front‑page news. \nAttendees will leave with a clear understanding of: \n\nWhy admin accounts represent the largest unmanaged blast radius in K‑12\nHow over‑permissioned identity access accelerates ransomware impact\nWhat modern identity segmentation looks like in a school district\nHow to reduce risk using tools many districts already own\nWhy shrinking blast radius is the difference between a minor incident and a district‑wide disruption
