Higher Ed Security Checklist

Universities have sprawling environments, shared systems, and more identity and device risk than most teams can track on their own. This checklist helps higher ed IT and security teams map the attack surface, prioritize high-risk access, protect identity first, cover university-owned devices, plan for unmanaged exposure, and review third-party risk. It’s a practical guide for reducing identity, device, and access risk across campus without adding more overhead to the team.

On-Demand Virtual Event

RMMs, or remote monitoring and management tools, are just about everywhere in IT. And for good reason.hey give teams fast access to keep things running (and fix obvious “Layer 8s”). Your organization’s tech whiz down the hall can see your screen and move your mouse,, all while looking like a normal remote session. Now put that same access in the hands of an attacker, and they can run commands, move across every machine on the network, and quietly disable the security tools watching them. It’s the perfect setup for ransomware, running through the same trusted channel IT teams rely on every day. In this live virtual event, we'll break down why RMMs create such a persistent threat, one where we’ve seen abuse jump 277% year over year. But we’ll end on a high note, showing you what it takes to close the gap, beyond visibility alone.
