TECHTALK: Navigating Cybersecurity in Higher Education

We turn to Higher Education and ensuring the security of its diverse user population — students, faculty, staff, and often, visitors — who typically connect to resources through BYOD or anywhere-access policies.?

We look at the largest — and oldest — university in Mexico, the National Autonomous University, founded in 1551. This school, now home to 213,000 students, has the incredibly difficult task of establishing and managing a Zero Trust environment while giving students and professors the ability to access resources and share data.?

Universities and colleges are taking decisive actions to set specific goals to enhance accessibility and improve the overall staff and student experience. These institutions recognize the importance of adapting to the evolving educational landscape, and their efforts are driven by a strong commitment to empower students and provide them with a transformative educational journey.

The higher education sector, much like finance and healthcare, faces a distinct set of cybersecurity challenges. Email-based threats, IoT vulnerabilities, cloud computing risks, and supply chain exposures are all part of the journey. By staying informed and fortifying security measures, higher education can turn the tables on cyber threats and secure a brighter digital future.
