Parts 1 and 2 of this series looked at two pressures facing higher education security teams. First, the threat landscape: universities are dealing with more frequent attacks across complex, distributed environments, while campus-by-campus security can make it harder to share intelligence and coordinate response. Second, the compliance burden: overlapping requirements across FERPA, GLBA, HIPAA, and CMMC make it diffic…
