The rush to digital transformation during the pandemic, paired with a sharp increase in cyberattacks, has created a perfect storm for cybersecurity in education and an expensive one. Not only have the costs of ransomware attacks skyrocketed to the six-figure range, but cyber-insurance premiums have also jumped as much as 300% for organizations that don’t have best-in-class security controls in place. Bottom line: It’s more important than ever to have a robust cybersecurity strategy in place on campus. Tune in to learn everything you need to know to get there.
Colleges and universities are under increasing pressure to migrate from traditional modes of student engagement to leverage digital technology capabilities. Aside from the need to meet students who have grown up in a heavily digital world “where they live” – institutions are experiencing staff and budgetary shortfalls that make traditional modes of engagement unsustainable. Anymore, deploying high quality digital-based technologies to deliver intelligent, interactive and personalized support is essential to support students in their day-to-day academic and campus life experiences. This presentation will highlight how Genesys is enhancing the student experience and supports current and emerging capabilities that can boost campus efforts.
Technology touches nearly every interaction a student has with their college or university. That student experience and the data generated by it provides institutions with an unparalleled opportunity to fine-tune their approach to retention, student engagement and more. In Day 2’s presentations and discussions, EdTech experts will explore how a laser focus on the student experience can break down barriers to student success and steer digital transformation efforts in the right direction.
There are many facets to campus security and safety COVID precautions, school shootings, student mental health concerns, building access control, emergency communications but one thread that unites them all is technology. Day 1 of EdTech Talks will explore innovative ways technology, tools and infrastructure can help keep students safe both in and out of the classroom.
