From dEdTech to Dead Handy: Make the most of redundant tech
Explore potential beyond the Raspberry Pi as a classroom resource, uncovering its potential in non-teaching applications within schools. From digital signage to network monitoring, Alan will showcase practical, cost-effective solutions using Raspberry Pi to enhance your school's infrastructure. He’ll also share how you can leverage redundant technologies to inspire and recruit the next generation of tech support professionals.

Martyns law, Compliance for life safety in educational facilities
How the ripple effect of Martyns law and how it relates to escape door compliance. Who is responsible for compliance, the challenges schools face managing escape doors, how access control breaches compliance legislation and standards, how compliance can be maintained and correctly managing student attempts to escape educational facilities.
Penetration Testing 101
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, cyber threats are more sophisticated than ever. How can organizations stay ahead of attackers and ensure their systems remain secure? Nellcote’s presentation offers a high level view of two critical cybersecurity strategies: Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Management.
We will explore the art of ethical hacking through penetration testing—where security professionals simulate real-world attacks to uncover hidden vulnerabilities. From understanding how attackers gain access to sensitive data to evaluating the damage they can cause, you'll get an insider’s view of how systems are exploited and, more importantly, how they can be fortified.
Additionally, we’ll explore the ongoing process of vulnerability management, which involves identifying, prioritizing, and remediating security weaknesses before they become a threat. You’ll learn about the tools and techniques used to continuously monitor and safeguard IT environments from the latest vulnerabilities.
Join Jay Abbott for a comprehensive look at how these two powerful defences can work together to keep your organisation safe.
