This episode is brought to you by Veracross and Toddle.As independent schools integrate technology more deeply into their educational practices and administrative operations, they face critical questions: How can they protect their digital ecosystems? What strategies can be employed to shield against cyber threats? Furthermore, how does cybersecurity intersect with the broader educational goals of fostering a safe and innovative learning environment?Robert Olsen, Global Practice Leader for Cybersecurity and Data Privacy at Ankura Consulting Group, addresses these pressing concerns. Olsen emphasizes the necessity for schools to adopt a proactive approach to cybersecurity. This stance is not merely about defense but about building a resilient digital culture that can withstand and adapt to the evolving nature of cyber threats.Olsen remarks, "The reality is, threat actors are becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it all the more important for schools to adopt a comprehensive approach to cybersecurity." This observation by Olsen highlights a critical challenge: the pace at which cyber threats evolve demands an equally dynamic and informed response from independent schools.Transitioning from Olsen's overarching insights, Christina Lewellen, the Executive Director of ATLIS, and Hiram Cuevas, the Director of Information Systems and Academic Technology at St. Christopher's School, provide practical perspectives on implementing these strategies within the school setting. Lewellen advocates for integrating technology to enhance collaboration and break down barriers within the school community. She asserts, "It's about leveraging technology to break down walls and foster collaboration," underscoring the essential role of cybersecurity in safeguarding the community's integrity and privacy.Cuevas adds a personal dimension to the discussion by sharing his experiences with technology's dual nature—its capacity to connect and expose. He reflects on using features like 'Find My' on Apple devices, balancing the convenience and peace of mind such technologies offer with the potential privacy concerns they raise. "It's not about monitoring but ensuring safety," Cuevas says, highlighting the nuanced approach required when integrating technology into educational settings.Olsen builds on these individual perspectives by addressing the unique challenges independent schools face, such as limited resources, which can make the implementation of comprehensive cybersecurity measures seem daunting. He advises a strategic focus: "It's about identifying the most critical assets and focusing efforts on protecting those." This approach advocates for maximizing the impact of existing resources through prioritization and strategic investment.Going deeper, Olsen explores the broader implications of cybersecurity within the educational sector, including privacy issues and the ethical use of technology. He champions the creation of a secure yet practical ecosystem. "The goal is to create a secure and nurturing environment where technology enhances the educational experience without compromising the privacy or safety of the school community," he elaborates.Bill Stites, the Director of Technology at Montclair Kimberley Academy, often highlights the importance of transparent communication facilitated by technology. "Slack has become crucial for us," he might say, emphasizing the role of digital tools in bridging the communication gap across decentralized campuses. This reliance on digital platforms underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect the flow of information.Olsen's expertise not only sheds light on the challenges schools face in securing their digital domains but also offers a road map for...

This episode is brought to you by Toddle. ATLIS thanks our vendor partners.Have you ever wondered how ATLIS came into existence? This special podcast episode takes listeners back to the beginning with ATLIS's three co-founders. The conversation doesn't stay in the past but also imagines the future trajectory of ATLIS and the role of technology leaders.Meet ATLIS co-founders: Kelsey Vrooman, Gaberiel Lucas, and Stuart Posin, as they reminisce about the early days, discussing their motivations and the challenges they faced. Their narrative underscores the importance of community and support in the tech field, particularly in the unique world of independent schools. Vrooman shares a poignant insight into her early days, remarking, “ATLIS served as a lifeline to me of bringing the smartest people in the room and allowing me to connect in with their wisdom and not having to reinvent the wheel.”Lucas emphasizes the community's role in ATLIS' journey, stating, "We knew that whatever happened here was going to be the make or break moment." Posten brings to light the rapid growth of ATLIS, saying, "We went from like, 'Hey, we're going to do this' to having almost 300 people at our first conference six months later."The conversation navigates the critical juncture where ATLIS transitioned from a concept to a concrete entity, emphasizing the strategic decisions and collaborative efforts that fueled its growth.The episode takes a deeper look at the pivotal role of ATLIS in providing a platform for tech administrators to share knowledge, tackle common challenges, and foster a sense of belonging."The antidote to burnout is community. It's a restful space where you can find shelter, where you know, people have your back, people are feeding not just your pocketbook, but your soul, your friendships, all of those things." Vrooman remarked. The founders reflect on their journey, outlining the evolution of their roles and the continuing relevance of ATLIS in a rapidly changing technological landscape. The conversation also touches on the future, envisioning ATLIS's role in addressing emerging challenges and new frontiers in educational technology. Vrooman shares one idea for how to address the challenges of financial sustainability for independent schools: “So much of technology can be administered digitally and from afar, so are there ways where you could partner schools that have similar missions that aren't necessarily market competitors. These schools could share services, share talents, even share platforms, across space and time to make the bottom line of technology more sustainable for schools. I'd like for ATLIS to be part of that solution to really rethink the business model of independent schools to try to make it more sustainable for the future.” Mentioned in this episode:Learn more about ToddleDeveloped by experienced educators, Toddle streamlines curriculum planning, projects & portfolios, assessments & reports, and online learning - all from one great platform!
