Security/Privacy

In the past, security measures focused primarily on external threats to a school’s network from viruses, hackers, and worms. Today, academic institutions face internal threats as employees and students can easily export sensitive information via email or by copying data to portable media. Without tools and techniques in place for data security and data privacy, schools have little to no control over their confidential information.

The security landscape is rapidly changing which makes it challenging to keep up with all of the advancements. Many schools do not have the resources to put the appropriate controls in place.
