Proofpoint Perspectives on Data Loss, Insider Threats, and Account Takeover Impacting Higher Ed

Remote access, cloud adoption, unprecedented employee turnover, increased compliance requirements, 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 and account takeover are top cybersecurity concerns among security leaders globally. As the Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Account Takeover, 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 and ITM controls, monitor for account takeover, and apply user education techniques to keep data and people safe. 

Join us for this session with Proofpoint experts to learn about best practices for how to protect people and defend data; how to detect and respond to potential insider threats; approaches to investigating insider threat and data loss incidents; how to identify and rapidly remediate account takeover events; how to stop data loss through cloud sharing tools, LLMs, personal webmail, and communication apps; how to use threat intelligence to inform educational practices and technical controls; and much more!
