Why Zero Trust Is the ONLY Strategy for Securing Higher Ed
Higher education is one of the most challenging environments to secure. Universities are like a combination of a small city, an ISP, a medium-sized enterprise and a research organization. From huge attack surfaces, funding issues, decentralized IT, legacy technology, to curious students, higher education offers a host of challenges to overcome in regard to protecting the community. But higher education can serve as a blueprint for how any organization can implement Zero Trust to prevent breaches from occurring. George Finney will share his lessons learned from over a decade of Zero Trust transformation at SMU. After attending this session, participants will:- Understand how to use the Zero Trust methodology to protect critical assets;
- Identify existing tools and resources that can accelerate their Zero Trust journey.
