Higher Education institutions are amazingly complex organizations and their scope for compliance regulations is wider than other industries. While virtually every industry faces significant cybersecurity challenges, higher education is particularly vulnerable.

This has made college and university networks an open and inviting target. Managing the balance between this "openness" and the need for tight security has historically been a challenge for college and university administrators and IT staff alike. Getting business administrators and IT align priorities and resources however, is sometimes a different story.
