Emilyann Fogarty, Chief Information Security Officer at NYSERNet, will lead a discussion titled, "Guardians of the Campus: Strengthening Cyber Defenses" at 12 PM on Thursday, March 21st in the Klingenstein Lounge.
Participants from all campus roles are welcome to engage in this simulated cybersecurity crisis, regardless of IT security knowledge. This interactive exercise, simulating a phishing attack targeting students and compromising critical campus systems, is designed to explore incident response strategies, communication protocols, and collaborative efforts aimed at mitigating the impact. Navigating the challenges posed by compromised campus data will be a focal point for participants.
The session aims to elevate awareness and resilience in response to the ever-evolving landscape of cybe threats. Regardless of your specific campus role, all participants will depart with an understanding of the collaborative and interconnected dynamics inherent in cybersecurity incident response. This acquired knowledge will fortify a more resilient and proactive defense mechanism against the continuously evolving threats facing educational institutions.
