Most higher education institutions need to comply with the Gramm Leach Bliley Act (GLBA). Recent changes to the FTC Safeguards Rule have prompted institutions to re-think how they approach GLBA compliance. The impact on staffing, monitoring activities, regular risk assessments, and more have shifted the balance for many institutions who can no longer set it and forget it. GLBA is not a project, it is a program of continuous improvement, and creating a tailored roadmap for improvement is critical to making GLBA programmatic.

The Evolution of Internet Bandwidth
Over the course of the evolution of the worldwide internet, the demand for faster bandwidth speeds on fixed networks has remained to consistently increase every year. However, contrary to what most people would think, recent changes in technology and consumer behavior indicate that this trend may be slowing down or even coming to a halt.
The surge in online video streaming has been a major driver of bandwidth demand. Yet, there are limits to this shift as well. Deloitte predicts that by 2024, more than 90% of the most commonly used online applications on fixed internet broadband networks in developed markets will have the same recommended bitrate as the year before. These applications encompass streaming video and audio, video calling, online gaming, and home security.
Our aim is to shed light on the rapidly evolving landscape of AI, its implications, and methodologies to mitigate risks. The insights drawn from this study will not only help institutions navigate the AI terrain but will also serve as a foundation for future educational strategies.
As a HESS member, participation is entirely complimentary. Furthermore, we’re delighted to share that the results will be made available to all HESS members.
Your perspective and experience are instrumental. By participating, you enrich the dataset, ensuring it truly captures the depth and diversity of AI’s role in our sector.
