Northwestern University recently integrated analytics solutions to help students understand the power of combining unstructured data with the structured data that businesses and governments already collect, and teach them how to translate that information into value for an organization.
Institutions are not only teaching students with the latest technologies, they are using these solutions to support their own operations too.
Universities are especially vulnerable to security threats due to their open network systems and the volume of users with access through different channels. Schools also need to meet certain regulatory requirements and privacy standards including those under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
Data-driven analytics can help schools monitor networks, improve visibility into IT operations and data requirements, adhere to compliance standards and drive more efficient and cost-effective services on campus.
Using data analytics solutions in the classroom and on campus enables faculty to better equip students with the skills and concepts needed across private industry and public sector and helps protect school networks.
We need to support higher education institutions that are investing in analytics software as they are critical to ensuring we continue to maintain a competitive edge technologically and economically.
By filling the data analytics and cyber skills gap we will be ready to prevent another summer of breaches. Education is the key to training and inspiring the next generation of cyber warriors.
