Higher education institutions today face an increasingly turbulent cybersecurity landscape. With limited budgets, a small staff, and ever-evolving regulatory obligations, maintaining a robust security posture can feel like steering a ship through stormy seas. This session explores how partnering with a Virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) can help institutions navigate these challenges with confidence and clarity.

Attendees will learn how a vCISO brings a unique combination of relationship-building, accountability, and deep subject matter expertise to help colleges and universities reduce institutional risk, mature their security programs, and achieve ongoing compliance with frameworks. More than just a consultant, a vCISO should be a trusted advisor that can move your security program forward.

Whether you have a vCISO at your institution or are considering engaging with one, learn how to get the most out of this important strategic relationship.
