Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Conference

Stronger Connections for Stronger Protections

The 2025 Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Conference, "Stronger Connections for Stronger Protections," will emphasize collaboration and the critical role it plays in advancing cybersecurity and privacy in higher education. In an increasingly complex and evolving digital landscape, the strength of our defenses relies on the bonds we build—within our teams, across institutions, and throughout the higher education, cybersecurity, and privacy communities. By fostering these deeper connections, we can leverage collective intelligence to anticipate and mitigate emerging threats, while ensuring that principled and trustworthy innovations are implemented that support our institutional mission.
