Should a Higher Ed Institution Hire a vCISO?

A virtual Chief Information Security Officer (vCISO) can be an effective and efficient cybersecurity executive within an institution of higher education.   

  • Are you experiencing pushback when implementing and prioritizing your campus cybersecurity program? 
  • Do you lack the time and resources needed to focus on cybersecurity? 
  • Are you looking for an executive leader to guide cyber defense for your college or university? 
  • Are you trying to implement controls to meet the requirements of GLBA?
