Digital environments are an integral part of the higher education landscape but there is increasing risk--loss of data, money, service and reputation. The bad guys are getting better and changing their tactics at an alarming speed. Cybersecurity is no longer only the responsibility of IT teams.  Everyone has a role to play including administrative leaders, researchers and students.    

In this session, hear from panellists about the importance of cybersecurity as a shared responsibility within a higher ed institution and how collaboration and working together is key. Together, they will explore common challenges and opportunities, share real-life stories and provide recommendations for action at your institution. This session is intended for non-technical members of the team—although hopefully all attendees will benefit.

Note: There will be no slides provided for this session.
