Security and Networked AV – What You Don’t Know Could Hurt You
This session is designed for absolutely everyone that should be concerned with, or part of ensuring that AV on the network isn't leaving your institution open to risk. Among other areas of expertise, Paul Zielie, manager of Enterprise Solutions at AMX by Harman is known as the AV/IT industry expert on networked AV security, and he tells it like it is. Most importantly, Zielie will make sure you are armed with the questions you need to ask anyone way above or below your level of network knowledge. You will enter your next discussion with what you need to know to help mitigate risk. And if you can't attend, send someone from your organization to gather information — the health of your institution depends on it. | Click here to register.
