Building a secure future: Cybersecurity strategies for higher education
Universities are becoming increasingly appealing targets for cyber threats like malware, ransomware, and phishing. According to Security Intelligence, in 2022, 89 education sector organizations fell victim to ransomware attacks impacting 44 colleges and universities. Educause lists cybersecurity as the number one IT issue for 2024.
With such complex technology and security stacks, SecOps teams at these institutions struggle to efficiently process the intelligence they receive from their tools. Traditional security tools are no longer sufficient to combat advanced threats that infiltrate multiple environments. Given these challenges, how can security teams keep student, faculty, and staff activity secure from increasingly creative and persistent adversaries?
In this webinar with Cisco Cybersecurity Executive Advisor Helen Patton, Tim Burns and Jesse Beauman from UNC Charlotte, we will explore:
- How higher education institutions can use the latest security tech to defend against advanced threats across their networks.
- How a streamlined cybersecurity approach enables SecOps teams to do more with less.
- The ways in which an XDR solution improves visibility, equipping security teams to respond to threats quickly and effectively.
