RANT Virtual Roundtable in partnership with Google
'Universities Under Siege - Why Cybersecurity Can’t Be an Afterthought Anymore'
Let’s be honest: higher education has a security problem. Between the ancient legacy systems clinging on for dear life, shiny new cloud tools popping up like mushrooms after rain, and a patchwork of networks held together by academic duct tape – it’s a hacker’s playground out there.
Every week, universities are juggling a thousand priorities – research, students, funding, operations – while their IT teams are quietly screaming into the void about patch management and MFA rollouts. Meanwhile, attackers are circling, because where else can you find data goldmines, cutting-edge research, and underfunded defenses all in one convenient package?
This isn’t just about stopping the next phishing campaign. It’s about building resilience – understanding how the sprawling maze of systems, servers, and student logins can actually work together instead of against you.
That’s why we’re teaming up with Google Cloud Security and Mandiant to rip the bandaid off and talk about what’s really happening in the sector. We’ll unpack the latest threat trends, share battle-tested strategies, and explore how to turn your chaotic sprawl into a unified, resilient fortress (or at least something less terrifying).
So, join us for an insightful and thought-provoking discussion paired with a delicious cheese and wine hamper delivered to your home! Because let’s face it: in 2025, “hope and pray” is not a security strategy.
