Higher education is one of the most challenging environments to secure. Universities are like a combination of a small city, an ISP, a medium-sized enterprise and a research organization. From huge attack surfaces, funding issues, decentralized IT, legacy technology, to curious students, higher education offers a host of challenges to overcome with regard to protecting the community. But higher education can serve as a blueprint for how any organization can implement zero trust to prevent breaches from occurring. George Finney will share his lessons learned from over a decade of zero trust transformation at SMU.

In this session, you will:

• Learn how to use the zero trust methodology to protect critical assets
• Identify existing tools and resources that can accelerate your zero trust journey
