Securing the Digital Campus: A Guide for Education Leaders

Education networks are open by design, holding vast amounts of personal data, IP, and research material against legacy systems and fragmented controls. This guide covers:

• Why the most serious security incidents in education stem from within, not malice, but mistakes
• Protecting data that moves constantly between campuses, cloud platforms, and partner institutions
• Navigating GDPR, FERPA, and overlapping data privacy frameworks
• Why compliance now means demonstrable control, not paperwork
• Building a culture of shared security responsibility across faculty, administrators, and students
