Hosted by the Lightspeed Systems team, Lightning Chats are quick, candid convos with experts on the front lines of edtech.

It's an edtech podcast– just without the long intros or awkward banter.

Zero Trust

In this episode, we’ll explore the concept of Zero Trust – a security framework that assumes threats could be internal or external and emphasizes the importance of verification at every level. We’ll discuss how schools can implement this model to better protect their sensitive data, the unique challenges they face, and the balance they must strike between ensuring security and facilitating student access to educational resources.

Join us as we sit down with industry experts, Matthew Burg and John Genter, to unpack these vital concepts and learn practical strategies for creating a safer learning environment.
