AI and Privacy and Cybersecurity - Oh My!
Each of these topics by themselves will undoubtedly have sessions dedicated to them and the relevance for commercial, healthcare, and education organizations. In this session, we will be digging into the Venn diagram of where they all come together. AI: What is your organizations and your departments role in your AI policy adoption? This could be a purely IT technical conversation, but we will be discussing it from the lens of an instructional interaction, and how IT can support instruction in making AI work for everyone: students, staff, parents and your community. Privacy: We'll discuss privacy in an AI-enabled world where information is much easier to find and associate. We'll talk about IT controls for internal information and making sure you are AI-ready, and what it might mean if you're not. We'll also explore user policies and data practices you should look for when evaluating AI tools both for staff use and instructional student facing tools. Cybersecurity: We'll discuss how AI and privacy impact our cybersecurity posture. We're seeing rapid change in these two BIG areas and school IT teams are already strapped for staffing and funding. The intersection of these three are where we'll dig in and discuss reasonable, actionable steps you can take to help make sure your organization is well positioned to understand and respond to all of these changing areas.

Always Connected, Always at Risk: How AI is Reshaping Mobile Security
Let’s be honest—most of us practically live on our phones. They’re always on, always connected and always on the move. That makes them prime targets, and the bad actors know it. Using AI, they’re crafting smarter scams, fake networks and apps that look real but are designed to steal your data. In this session, we’ll explore how mobile security is evolving; it's no longer just about securing the device, but also what it connects to. Verizon is leading the charge by embedding protection directly into the network, blocking threats and suspicious connections before they ever reach the device. Paired with the right solution, like Jamf, this creates a powerful layer of mobile defense. We’ll also discuss how AI is shaping the future of security—for both attackers and defenders—and how network-level protection combined with endpoint security can proactively stop threats. This isn’t a sales pitch—it’s a real look at where mobile security is headed and how we’re helping lead the way. If you're looking to stay ahead of mobile threats, especially on iPhones and iPads, this session is for you.
Apple + Jamf: Device Security From the Silicon Up
Apple's own security story is one of layers: chip architecture, cryptographically signed OS volumes, Gatekeeper, XProtect, developer app signing and sandboxing. Jamf's management and security solutions build on that foundation to both extend the native security of Apple devices and provide assurances to admins about the status of their fleets. This session will go layer by layer - starting with the literal silicon, ending with Jamf Protect and Jamf Executive Threat Protection, to explain how each component stacks up to a cohesive security solution for Mac and mobile. A security parfait, if you will. :)
