Cybersecurity Best Practices:
Southeastern Conference

We apologize for any inconvenience, but this week’s Cybersecurity Best Practices has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. Please refer to our website for additional event opportunities with Proofpoint.

Zoom | Wednesday, June 2, 2021 | 11:00AM - 12:00PM ET


Universities depend on multiple external vendors and partners to support their business activities as part of their supply chain. These complex supply chains are attractive targets for cybercriminals.

It’s time to shine more light on the supply chain as an abuse vector. Emails impersonating a trusted business partner are more likely to trick the target into taking an unauthorized action. These business email compromise (BEC) attacks are hard to detect and increasingly malicious.

Join Curtis Wray and Christopher Montgomery, Proofpoint Principal Solution Architects, to review cybersecurity best practices for the universities of the Southeastern Conference. We’ll highlight:

  • Analysis and peer comparison of Southeastern Conference University threat data
  • Threat intelligence trends and how they impact universities
  • Third-party and supply chain risks faced by universities
  • Best practices for identifying and mitigating these threats
