Key Elements to Protect Your Institution's Data from a Cyber Incident

In the face of ever-evolving cybersecurity threats, colleges and universities need an agile data security strategy that encompasses not only threat detection and response, but also recovery after an attack occurs. Leveraging the cloud can help institutions confidently protect and recover their data, while also providing the peace of mind of an immutable backup to help get systems back online quickly and cleanly when needed.

Leveraging AI and ML Across the Institution

Artificial intelligence and machine learning hold vast potential across all areas of higher education. Not only do these technologies enable new modes of learning, improve research outcomes, and accelerate decision-making, but they also play a pivotal role in cybersecurity risk analysis, streamlining threat detection and automated incident response. It’s important for higher education leaders to understand the risks and benefits as they deploy these tools and take advantage of the opportunity to continue technology-based transformation within the institution.


You’ve Broken Down Institutional Data Silos. Now What?

Persistent data silos have long been a challenge in higher education, separating pockets of information, expertise, and culture and impeding efforts to engage in data-informed decision-making across the institution. But even as colleges and universities begin to unify their data sources and implement best practices in data management and data governance, it can be difficult to translate that data into a positive impact on student outcomes. How can institutions move their data efforts forward to better solve complex problems and drive the strategic mission?


What Higher Ed IT Leaders Should Know About AI and Cybersecurity

There’s no question that artificial intelligence has become a powerful tool for both cybersecurity attacks and defenses, potentially increasing the volume and velocity of attacks while speeding the detection and analysis of malicious activity. How will AI change the way organizations are impacted by cybersecurity threats in the coming year? In this interactive discussion, we’ll talk about AI-enabled attack techniques in use today, what threats to watch on the horizon, and how institutions should prioritize their cybersecurity strategies accordingly.


Transforming Communication for the Modern Campus: Learn What’s Possible with an Integrated Communications Model

Many colleges and universities have already seen the benefits of moving away from traditional landlines, MPLS connections, and outdated devices and hardware, embracing Unified Communication & Collaboration (UCC) tools for meetings, remote or hybrid classes, and more. But that’s just the beginning of what’s possible with modern communications platforms: The convergence of tools such as UCC and Call Center as a Service is bringing communication and service delivery to a whole new level on campus. This integrated communications model enables institutions to improve service, better allocate staffing and resources, and reduce costs, all while enhancing the student experience, boosting employee satisfaction, and fostering alumni and community relations.


Securing Faculty Buy-In: Strategies for a Successful LMS Evaluation and Transition

Discover how multiple institutions successfully obtained faculty buy-in during transitions, ultimately leading to the development of numerous best practices that can be implemented across other college campuses.


Adapting Your Information Security Strategy to the “New Now”!

Remote and hybrid models of work and learning are here to stay — and as a result, the borders of the university network have blurred. How can institutions manage risk while fending off the litany of threats targeting higher education? In an interactive discussion, IT security leaders will talk about how institutions’ security strategies must evolve to meet today’s — and tomorrow’s — challenges.


Game On! Enhancing Cybersecurity Workforce Readiness Through Game-Based Training

The cybersecurity field is critically in need of skilled professionals to protect against increasingly complex, evolving threats. Higher education has a key role to play in addressing the skills gap and more than 3 million unfilled cyber jobs worldwide, yet recurring pain points in creating and teaching a cybersecurity curriculum frequently hold institutions back from offering their students these vital workforce skills.
