From Data to Decisions: Translating EDUCAUSE Cybersecurity and Privacy Research into Insights

Leadership just scheduled a meeting about AI governance. The board wants to know about cybersecurity workforce trends. The registrar is inquiring about the privacy implications of the new student information system. Your executive team is asking tough questions about compliance frameworks. Sound familiar? When leadership comes calling with urgent questions, you need insights quickly, and you need them to have an impact. This session reveals a systematic framework for rapidly accessing, distilling, and communicating EDUCAUSE research when those critical questions arise. We'll demonstrate how to quickly identify relevant studies, extract the most compelling insights, and translate them into intelligence that drives decisions and action. We'll also explain how to extract cybersecurity and privacy insights not only from obvious sources but also from research on teaching and learning, student experience, and other areas of higher education information technology. Through live demonstration, you'll learn how to apply the EDUCAUSE wealth of community insights across diverse formats, from formal executive presentations to elevator pitches. Whether you have five minutes or five days to prepare, you'll have the resources to be the go-to source for credible, actionable intelligence on the higher education cybersecurity and privacy landscape.
