Proofpoint Spotlight

Zoom | Thursday, December 8, 2022 | 10:00AM-11:00AM PT


Modern ways of learning pose unique cybersecurity and IT challenges for educators. From hybrid learning and the increased collection of proprietary personal data, to the rapid build-out of digital infrastructure to support distributed student populations and workers, people have become the target of attackers…and the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain.

As threats focused on education increase – including ransomware, phishing, social engineering, and identity theft – you need a people-centric approach to cyber defense to protect the individuals most likely to be targeted and defend against attacks.

Join us for Proofpoint Spotlight as our panelists discuss:

  • The current Education threat landscape and how it’s evolving
  • Lessons learned from the front lines of cyber defense
  • Risk mitigation strategies for protecting your people and your organization
