What You'll Learn

Passwords and shared credentials can create unnecessary risk across today’s education environments. As schools and universities work toward stronger Zero Trust strategies, certificate-based authentication provides a more secure and streamlined way to verify users and devices.

Join SecureW2 and VLCM to explore how certificate-based access can help strengthen Wi-Fi, VPN, and network security while reducing reliance on passwords. We’ll cover how organizations can establish identity and device trust, apply the right access policies across students, staff, BYOD, and managed devices, and integrate certificate-based security into their existing technology environments.

This session is designed to give you a practical understanding of why certificate-based authentication is becoming an important part of modern Zero Trust strategies.
