In today's world, it’s not a question of if your institution will be hit by a cyberattack, but when. Who's responsible for protecting your institution? Everyone, including the library. With higher education experiencing digital transformation and universities increasingly vulnerable to cyberthreats, it is imperative that institutions take proactive measures to mitigate the risks – and as stewards of access to campus networks, libraries are in a position to make that mitigation more effective. In this session, we will get advice on library-based network security strategies from a former university CISO, a cybersecurity expert, a university librarian, and a library technology communication expert. They will answer your questions about vulnerability, communication, and aligning strategies with your IT department. The panel will also share measures that every library can take to protect sensitive campus and student data, stay compliant with license agreements, and discourage copyright piracy.
