  • 1.  Cybersecurity and Your School

    Posted 13 days ago

    Hello!

    I wanted to create this post to strike some engagement and get to know other members of this community. I am Tyler Hilliard, and I recently joined Forsyth Country Day School as the Assistant IT Director. I worked both as a Network Engineer and the Chief Security Engineer at a Managed Service Provider and a Managed Security Service Provider, covering medical and manufacturing businesses. I have dabbled with quite a few tools, but I know there is a lot out there that I don't know. With recently joining of the educational field, it brings a new set of challenges for me. I would love to hear what other people are doing for those scenarios.

    I wanted to see if other people in the community would share their best practices for securing their environment or just have any advice to give. I can give my thoughts if anyone has any security or general questions!

    Some tasks we are tackling are tasks such as refining our policies in Google Workspace for Data Loss Prevention, securing PII, and keeping students safe. 

    As well as trying to find the best way to handle substitute accounts. Whether to give subs all accounts or just create a few per academic division and lock them down. 

    It is a pleasure to be a part of this group and excited to learn from everyone!

    Welcome to the community, Tyler.  I'm looking forward to all that you'll share and learn in this community. You may have already landed on these resources, but I'm dropping them for you here as you navigate all that ATLIS has to offer and ways that you may able to contribute to it's knowledge given your broader industry experience.

    Again welcome!
