Increasing accessibility without compromising security
In today's Web 2.0 world, we are pushing the limits of our connected human nature. With recent events like the Twitter explosion surrounding the Iranian elections, it is clear that the instantaneous nature of our communicative abilities is a good thing, but it can also be leveraged against us. Facebook updates and micro-blogging have opened more doors into our personal lives, as well as into our institutions, and the criminal element is taking advantage of this in very real ways. This is especially critical in an academic environment, where openness in communication and the sharing of ideas empowers our students and faculty alike, and the trust associated with these facts is used against us. Join Coy Thorp from WatchGuard Technologies, a leader in education security, as he discusses this new world we live in and how we should adapt, stay connected, and still maintain security and institutional privacy.
