Webinar Topics
Higher education institutions are amazingly complex organizations and their scope for compliance regulations is wider than other industries. While virtually every industry faces significant cybersecurity challenges, higher education is particularly vulnerable.
The degree of openness and transparency within higher ed has historically placed a focus on making sure that faculty, students, staff, the public, and donors can connect easily to resources – including payments across possibly numerous networks. This has made college and university networks an open and inviting target.
