The future of higher education cybersecurity is here. Dealing with issues in our digital systems has become mission critical and everyone has a role to play to ensure safe and reliable delivery for our customers. Join us to learn how a central IT organization has partnered closely with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) research grant faculty team to understand key research IT needs, ensure compliance, evolve the technology, and ultimately secure the high-profile researchers and form preventative strategies against tomorrow’s cyberattacks. In addition, this presentation will feature the faculty director/principal investigator leading the DHS grant, who will share research observations around cyberterrorism, including findings about ideologically motivated cyberattacks.
