Just as cybersecurity threats have evolved, so have the defense strategies deployed by education institutions to combat them. As more organizations implement and successfully maintain modern cybersecurity best practices, what can be done to protect their investments and ensure assets are safeguarded in the event of system failure, user error, or natural disaster?

Developing a long-term cybersecurity strategy that incorporates fail-safes and leaves room for flexibility can help institutions sustainably detect, prevent, and recover from cybersecurity attacks.

Join the Center for Digital Education for an interactive webinar to discover what's next on the education cybersecurity journey. Join the discussion on October 20, where cybersecurity experts will discuss:

  • The importance of a multi-faceted approach for stopping bad actors and thwarting would-be attackers
  • The best practices for cyber-attack prevention as well as remediation and restoration if you've already been attacked
  • How to understand and execute security measures across a spectrum of platforms
