Colleges and universities have become enticing targets for threat actors given the wealth of staff and student data, intellectual property, and payment information housed in their IT systems. Simultaneously, these environments also pose a unique security challenge given the volume and diversity of devices that join and leave the network by the minute, and the difficulty of managing various segments of the environment with different needs and priorities. If compromised, the fallout isn’t limited to reputational damage—the loss of sensitive information could have rippling enrollment and financial impact for years to come.
To stay protected in the face of these threats, you need security solutions that can adapt to your dynamic environment, maximize visibility and communication across widely distributed sites and stakeholders, and keep you on track towards your risk reduction and compliance goals.
