As higher education institutions increasingly rely on data to drive decisions, securing the full data pipeline—from ingestion to visualization—has never been more critical. In this session, we’ll explore the complete journey of data, from its collection and storage in data warehouses to its transformation and presentation in Power BI dashboards. We’ll share actionable best practices for securing each stage of this process, with a focus on identity and access management (IAM), role-based permissions, encryption, and monitoring. Learn how to implement cybersecurity protocols that not only protect sensitive information but also support compliance with institutional and federal standards. Whether you're a data analyst, IT professional, or decision-maker, this session will provide insights into building a secure and trusted analytics environment that aligns with EDUCAUSE's mission of advancing data-informed decision-making across campus.
