Webinar - The Cyber-Smart Campus: Defending Data in the AI Era

#1716638: Webinar - The Cyber-Smart Campus: Defending Data in the AI Era

Description:	The same openness that colleges and universities thrive on can make them targets. The recent news of a mass hack at the University of Pennsylvania is a reminder that even well‑resourced campuses are vulnerable. On Thursday, January 8, at 2 p.m. ET, The Chronicle will convene campus technology and compliance leaders to share guidance you can use right away. We’ll look at how AI is being used to make phishing and impersonation more convincing, to steal data, and to break into connected devices — and how the same technology can bolster your defenses. At this virtual forum, hear a discussion about: Protecting shared computers and lab gear across a distributed campus. Implementing zero‑trust in practice, with simple ways to improve passwords, updates, and access. Keeping student and research records compliant while keeping everyday work moving. Using AI‑powered tools to spot impersonation scams and attempts to steal data from campus systems.
