Action1 5 How Education IT Teams Are Solving Patching, Access, and Security at Scale

How Education IT Teams Are Solving Patching, Access, and Security at Scale

January 21

12 PM EST / 9 AM PST

About this Webinar

If you manage IT or security in K–12 or higher education, you’re being asked to secure more endpoints with fewer resources. When patching delays, off-campus devices, and limited visibility increase risk, hearing directly from peers can make all the difference.

Join a fireside chat with education IT leaders, Action1 customers, speaking about the challenges they face and how they’re addressing them.

You’ll walk away with:

^ How education IT teams are securing distributed endpoints and reducing operational overhead without adding complexity

^ Practical approaches to improving patching and endpoint security in education environments

^ Real examples of supporting off-campus devices securely and at scale

^ Insight into how small IT teams gain visibility and control without extra tools or staff

The discussion will build on insights from Action1 Cybersecurity in Education Report 2025–2026, and all registered participants will receive a copy.
