Defending the Modern Higher Education Attack Surface: Building a Future-Proof Security Operating System
Date & Time TBD
Higher education security teams are drowning in "signal fog", relying on siloed tools that leave campuses vulnerable to interconnected threats like supply chain exploits and the rapid rise of unmanaged "Shadow AI" among faculty and staff. If your institution only evaluates single-dimensional defenses like vendor risk, you are actively choosing to remain blind to 66% of the modern attack path. This session introduces Cyber Risk Posture Management (CRPM), a foundational security operating system that unifies your defense across your vendors, external attack surface, human users, and third-party threat actors. Attendees will discover how to connect these core pillars to eliminate the manual audit grind, cut through the noise, and move from reactive firefighting to a proactive, future-proofed campus security program. Hear firsthand how HE institutions are managing the current landscape and improving their CRPM through partnership with UpGuard.
