The Zero Trust Campus: Securing Higher Education with Zero Trust Architecture
As higher education institutions embrace digital transformation, they face unprecedented challenges in securing hybrid learning environments, sensitive student and research data, and distributed IT infrastructure. This session explores the practical application of zero trust architecture (ZTA) tailored to higher education, based on insights from Zscaler’s new book: The Zero Trust Campus. Attendees will learn how ZTA mitigates cyberthreats, prevents data breaches, enhances user experience and operational efficiency, and helps secure the growing use of GenAI.
Through real-world use cases, including VPN replacement, remote access, micro-segmentation, SaaS utilization, Generative AI integration, and guest access management, this session demonstrates actionable strategies for CIOs, CTOs, and other IT leaders. We’ll share a roadmap for starting and scaling ZTA initiatives while addressing common implementation challenges, ensuring participants leave with a clear framework for securing their institutions.
Join us to discover why zero trust is more than a security strategy—it’s the foundation for a secure, innovative, and future-ready campus.
