Higher education institutions offer a unique, but highly relatable experience when it comes to managing cybersecurity. Many larger schools contain multiple groups, such as medical centers, research units, separate colleges, offsite locations – each with their own IT needs, practices and administration, and often there are no requirements to collaborate on managing their IT operations and cybersecurity. 

But as public sector organizations know, you’re only as solid as your “weakest” link, and to reduce the attack surface and protect sensitive student, staff, medical and research data, higher educational institutions must work together using a unified source of truth for their endpoint data. However, there’s so much more to creating a lasting solution than just technology.  

This panel will delve into the following topics being addressed by higher educational institutions across the country today, that also offer important learnings for all public sector organizations: 

• Lessons in driving a data-driven culture, and giving the situational awareness needed to break down barriers around data sharing and management 
• The benefits of centralizing IT operations and cybersecurity management as much as possible 
• Maintaining a culture of collaboration through leadership changes 
• Achieving a more secure organization to protect students, staff and data
