The introduction of Chromebooks in U.S. schools has been instrumental in giving more students access to the internet. But the huge shift to remote learning for students and teachers — and the sudden reliance on networks that typically lack the security protections in place at most schools — has created new security challenges for most K-12 school districts. One of the key challenges school districts now face is assessing the risks introduced by unmanaged assets, according to cloud security expert Sunny Suneja. “Educational institutions now have to take into account the increased attack surface because of unmanaged devices being used by user populations, connecting to school networks and platforms from untrusted sources and untrusted locations on the internet,” he says in a new EdScoop podcast.
