Product(s): Blackboard Learn Original, Blackboard Learn Ultra
Location: Main Draw Stage - Right, Royal Ballroom (Level 6)

Speakers: Justin Depuydt, Director of Strategic Operations and Partnerships, Proctorio

A new class of cheating tools is emerging, designed to bypass traditional proctoring by operating invisibly. These tools are not theoretical, they are active, growing in sophistication, and are increasingly difficult to detect. In this session, we introduce Proctorio’s latest suite of Advanced Security tools. Proctorio’s Advanced Security features add a critical layer of protection by preventing unauthorized tools, such as virtual machines,deepfakes, and contract cheating software from launching during assessments, addressing vulnerabilities that most existing solutions cannot fully cover.

Through real-world examples and a live demonstration, we will show how these features work, what threats they neutralize, and why this development marks a turning point in academic integrity. If you are serious about protecting assessments in a rapidly evolving digital landscape, this session is essential.
