Navigating the Regulatory Maze: Compliance Strategies for Higher Education

As cybersecurity and privacy regulations evolve, higher education institutions face growing challenges to maintain compliance while strategically enabling the use of data and technology in research innovation, academic programs, and other institutional priorities. At this virtual symposium, the cybersecurity community will share insights on how to guide your program through the complex regulatory environment and make progress on your compliance journey.

Through community-led presentations, discussions, and hands-on activities, we will demystify key regulations, breaking them down into understandable components. We will learn from peers who have shaped compliance efforts at their institutions. Join us to share experiences, develop skills, and network with professionals facing similar challenges.

Learning Outcomes

• Develop approaches for building programs that address cybersecurity and privacy compliance requirements while supporting the institutional mission.
• Identify peer-tested approaches for assessing institutional readiness and implementing regulatory compliance requirements with limited resources.
• Explore strategies for moving beyond a compliance checkbox mindset to build and sustain a broad culture of compliance.
• Learn how to communicate about cybersecurity and privacy regulations with various stakeholders while staying informed about upcoming changes that may affect your institution.
