Remote learning is very much like work from home scenarios that organisations have been forced to transition to in recent months. Many classes are being operated via SaaS cloud solutions that students must sign into via SSO. Due to this, third-party cloud management best practices and SSO security considerations are paramount. Infrastructure concerns are a major element in this conversation, as weak infrastructures are ripe for attack. Schools need to accommodate students with weak or no internet connection as well as those who may not have access to devices through which to carry out remote learning protocols. Schools may consider a limited re-opening to account for these students with valid needs by bringing them on-site in a socially distanced, safe arrangement. In a best case scenario, schools currently need to focus on short turnaround enhancements. The budget for the upcoming school year has been set. Contracts initiated now likely won’t land in time for the school year to begin. Because of this, schools must make due with their existing staff, equipment, software, and other resources. A strategy to consider given these constraints include building security awareness training and workshops into the curriculum as a first step. Training should be presented not only to students, but also to staff. Additionally, button up the configurations of existing software and communicate those updates so that everyone remains on the same page that security and privacy are being addressed to the extent possible.  Read Less
