Cisco Secure and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework

whitePaper | December 6, 2022

Cybersecurity can seem overwhelming, and there’s plenty of long to-do lists. The Center for Internet Security (CIS) has the Critical Security Controls, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has its 27000-series publications, and ISACA manages its COBIT 5 framework. 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.

Leading Cybersecurity in Higher Education

whitePaper | February 11, 2023

Higher-education institutions are experiencing a high volume of cyberattacks and greater vulnerability to threats. Today’s educational technology environments connect a variety of endpoints—laptops, desktops, student management data, and email servers. They use Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices for managing environmental controls, security cameras, and door alarms. Both ends of the education spectrum gather, store, and use personal data from students and staff—and if they collect it, they must also protect it. As a result, schools need dedicated, skilled, and experienced executive leadership that is empowered, resourced, and responsible for campuswide cybersecurity issues.
