College campuses are working to harness data analytics, artificial intelligence and other technologies to deliver

personalized experiences, improve student success, optimize their operations and more. To do this, they rely on

growing amounts of information – everything from financial data to demographic data to how students move

around on campus and interact with different services.

While this trove of information fuels improvement and innovation, it also makes schools a key target for

cybercriminals. But new technology is helping schools close cybersecurity gaps and better protect their data.

Join a panel of education leaders and cyber security experts to explore how higher education institutions can use

technology to keep data safe during a live 30-minute webinar on September 20, 2023, at 10 AM PT/1 PM ET.

You’ll learn:

· What higher ed technology leaders can do to keep data secure

· How to mitigate risk with a proactive security approach

· The consequences of data breaches and data mismanagement

· How automation, AI and other emerging technologies help better protect data

· Tips and best practices for choosing and deploying new tool
