Speaking Sessions
Developing a Robust Cybersecurity Intelligence Program for Educational Institutions
Tuesday, October 22, 4:00PM–4:45PM CT
We've had a year to play around with AI: evaluating how it works, exploring how we can use it for security, and learning how it can be used against us. Now it's time to put experiences of what we’ve learned into practice so that it enhances our higher education security strategy and delivers the outcomes we want. Join David Seidl, CIO at Miami University Ohio and Helen Patton, former CISO at The Ohio State University, to debate this. Participants will join the discussion to learn how to take care of their institutions without being overwhelmed and under-resourced and still deliver a security program that embraces the best of AI for the entire institution.

Helen Patton
Cybersecurity Strategic Advisor , Cisco Systems, Inc.

Defending Your Institution Against Prolific Cyberthreats? Is it Time to Get Help?
Wednesday, October 23, 11:30AM–12:15PM CT
Paralyzed campuses are on the rise, and the importance of securing the institution has never been more critical. Digital experiences are driving a new era in education, and a university’s SecOps will need to be better equipped to defend the institution robustly. They play a massive role in ensuring that the institution meets its mission, its students are successful, and the impacts of attacks are minimized. Restricted budgets and limited skilled personnel mean the answer is fewer tools and a heavier reliance on automation and AI. Two university leaders discuss how they moved to embrace new visibility and automation by optimizing security toolkits to extend detection and response to meet today’s threats. Learn how this is more than securing the institution, it's pivotal to the success of the whole institution.
