What to know about Zero Trust in higher education

With cyberthreats on the rise, zero trust should be an integral part of your institution's cybersecurity strategy. In this Campus Technology white paper, sponsored by Spectrum Enterprise, learn the top considerations and keys to success for a zero trust approach to network security.

As campus leaders look to protect their data and networks from a barrage of threats, the nature of cybersecurity is changing.

Instead, institutions need modern cybersecurity defenses that extend the network edge to each user and application.

Keeping campus networks secure requires strategic thinking in combination with smart policies and technologies. An approach that is becoming more popular across public and private organizations alike is the concept of "zero trust."
