Past event: Cyber Security for Higher Education Conference

Does it constantly feel like there’s a target on your back? You’re not alone:

“Higher education accounts for 17 percent of all personal information data breaches…only the medical sector is victimized more.”
–K. Westby, Coalfire Systems

With everything from personal information to medical records, financial data, and even high-value intellectual property on the line, it’s imperative that your institution develop critical infrastructures for anticipating, recognizing, and minimizing losses from an attack.

We are here to help.


Join fellow security professionals from leading institutions at our inaugural “Cyber Security for Higher Education Summit” next March 28-30 in Boston, MA as we examine:

  • Strategies for effectively managing active persistent threats
  • How to successfully compete with the private sector in recruiting and retaining top talent
  • Assessment of your need for cyber liability insurance
  • Pptimization of cloud security
  • Development of a robust deterrence plan without infringing on academic freedom

Whether you’re directing a fully staffed team of dedicated engineers, or if you’re the lone infosec ninja representing the first and last line of defense, you’ll benefit from our expert faculty’s timely, evidence-based approach to developing an agile and responsive security roadmap.
