What if you could report on anonymized traffic from VPNs and proxies? Catch the app privacy policy change before it breaks compliance? Announce an app outage before the status page is up? Reclaim ghost licenses before renewals drain your budget?
Welcome to your IT visibility platform: Lightspeed Signal + Insight. It gives you the complete visibility you need to tackle budget deficits, cybersecurity, accessibility, student data privacy, AI, and other IT annoyances that are taking your team’s time.
We’ll cover:

• How to spot proxy, VPN and Tor activity that your web filter is missing
• How to see not only who devices are assigned to, but who is actually using them
• How app traffic inspection can alert you to app outages before the vendor even knows, so you’re warning teachers before they’re calling you
• How to uncover cost savings from underused apps and devices
• How to spot (and stop) compliance risks without adding new software or teams

If you’ve ever muttered “I wish I knew that earlier,” this is the session for you.
