How to Recover From a Cyberattack

Colleges and universities must put a line of defense in place as cyberattacks continue to plague them.

Creating resilient infrastructure is a key step to ensure that an institution won’t have to halt its operations in the event of a ransomware attack or data breach. If a cyberattack does happen, how can a college or university repair the damage done?

In a coming virtual forum, moderated by Ian Wilhelm, an assistant managing editor at The Chronicle, a panel of experts will discuss how to build reliable cybersecurity as part of your institution’s strategic planning.
