Remote access, cloud adoption, unprecedented employee turnover, and uncertain funding make it harder than ever for educational institutions to protect student and staff data. Intellectual property, sensitive research data, and protected student data are all prime targets for both external criminal and state-aligned threats, while insider threats are the top cybersecurity concern among security leaders globally.
As the Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Insider Threat Management (ITM) markets converge, a people-centric approach with robust threat intelligence and thoughtful human risk management allows organizations to strategically apply DLP policy, ITM controls, and user education techniques to keep data and people safe.
At the conclusion of this session, you will have learned:
- Best practices to protect people and defend data;
- How to detect and respond to potential insider threats; and
- How to investigate insider threat and data loss incidents.
