Join us for our closing general session, Write Code or Write Checks? Balancing Cybersecurity, Privacy, and Resources.

The actual cost of protecting our institutions extends far beyond the price tag. As we navigate between building internal capabilities and acquiring third-party services, we face tradeoffs that impact more than just the budget. Join our panel of higher education leaders as they share their experiences balancing these tradeoffs. Whether you're guiding strategy or supporting operations, you'll learn how to effectively communicate the full impact of security investment choices.
