Maturing Your Paths To Privilege Access for Higher Education

Cybersecurity threats are continuously evolving. For Higher Education, standing privileges, shared credentials, and unmanaged third party access open clear paths for lateral movement and ransomware. Traditional Privileged Access Management (PAM) must mature into Identity Security in order to address modern attack vectors and keep campuses safe. The biggest cybersecurity concern for higher-education accounts is the large and highly exposed attack surface, which makes universities especially vulnerable to breaches, ransomware, and credential-based attacks.

In this on-demand webinar, Chris Hills, Chief Security Strategist, BeyondTrust, discusses the evolution of PAM and the importance of managing both human and non-human identities across distributed workforces and cloud environments.

In addition, Chris shares why transitioning from legacy PAM practices, such as VPN reliance and standing privileges to passwordless authentication and least privilege enforcement is critical to institutional security. He’ll walk through a PAM Maturity Model that will empower universities and colleges with a framework to evaluate their security posture through risk reduction, operational efficiency and compliance.

Institution benefits include:

• Meeting Cyber Insurance Mandates
• Improved Compliance
• Enhanced Security
• Holistic Visibility
• Organizational Efficiency
