Webinar | Campus Cyber Ops: Modernize, Train, Profit

This webinar is a part of the EDUCAUSE Industry Insights series.

Higher education is under relentless cyber pressure, yet many institutions are forced to choose between stronger security, modern tooling, and sustainable staffing. Campus Cyber Ops: Modernize, Train, Profit explores a new model that makes it possible to do all three.

Join TekStream for an EDUCAUSE Industry Insights webinar showcasing a revolutionary public/private partnership with Splunk and forward-thinking universities like LSU. We’ll share how this approach modernizes campus cybersecurity operations with real-world threat visibility and response capabilities, while ensuring students are not left behind.

You’ll also get a look inside the live cybersecurity program where students train in real conditions, gaining hands-on experience with active threats, workflows, and modern SOC operations. Finally, we’ll unpack how institutions can transform cyber operations from a cost center into a for-profit, self-sustaining program that strengthens security, grows talent, and delivers measurable ROI.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Discover how TekStream modernizes campus cyber ops faster than building internally, using proven playbooks, Splunk expertise, and university partnerships.
  • Understand how a live, student-powered SOC delivers real-world training without overwhelming campus security teams.
  • Explore how to launch a sustainable, for-profit cybersecurity program while avoiding the cost, complexity, and staffing risk of doing it yourself.
