Education Data Security Challenge
Higher Education institutions embody the ideals of intellectual creativity and freedom. The decentralized nature of these environments, however, present challenges in managing data security. While preserving this freedom is a top priority, it is also increasingly important for higher education institutions to deploy cost-effective and user transparent security controls to maintain compliance with regulations such as FERPA, HIPAA, ITAR, etc. and as sophisticated attackers target advanced research information. Collaboration within and between institutions adds another layer of complexity in securing sensitive data.
