Feeling overwhelmed?
Security, risk, and compliance teams in higher ed face a series of unique and challenging obstacles.
Devices are widespread.
Small or large, your campus probably has thousands, if not tens of thousands, of devices and systems across various campuses, schools, and departments.
Risk scoring is inefficient.
In the end, having your team spend time & resources to roll up the risk data manually can cause scoring inconsistencies making it hard to understand risk at present and over time.
Data collection is pesky.
With significant ground to cover, tracking down and pestering faculty & staff to answer questions about a device in question can prove unfruitful.
Vendor risk is your risk.
With the increasing shift of data towards cloud-based infrastructures, the challenge of measuring and understanding vendor induced risk is growing exponentially.
