Embracing Security Operations in the Educational Sector

December 22, 2022

Nearly every part of the educational sector has fallen victim to a cyberattack, from elementary schools to universities. Securing education is no longer a “nice to have” but a “must do” and is a growing concern among the global educational community.

Creating and maintaining effective information security and cybersecurity operations in education comes down to people, processes, and tools. It’s crucial for IT and security leaders across the entire spectrum of educational institutions to find the right balance between the three. While there are success stories of achieving that balance, there’s always more to do to identify, understand, and mitigate cybersecurity risks to these organizations. Establishing and improving existing cybersecurity operations must become a priority.

Reveal Risk Whitepaper: Measuring And Managing Cyber Resilience

whitePaper | March 3, 2023

Cyber Resilience (according to NIST) is “the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to adverse conditions, stresses, attacks, or compromises on systems that use or are enabled by cyber resources.” Resiliency in cybersecurity is not a new concept. It has long been postulated as a goal or used to convey that a business needs to be ready for the unpredictable that can and will arise in a volatile cyber-risk climate. However, we have seen that there is a disconnect between current practices for evaluating & leading cyber programs, and understanding, measuring, & building true cyber resiliency.

Cisco Secure and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework

whitePaper | December 6, 2022

Cybersecurity can seem overwhelming, and there’s plenty of long to-do lists.

Layer those atop compliance mandates like the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Gramm-Leach Bliley Act (GLBA) — and it’s often hard to know where to start.
