About The Cybersecurity and Privacy Program
The Cybersecurity and Privacy Program provides resources and events that are created by, and for, the higher education cybersecurity and privacy communities.
Major areas of focus of the program include:
- Coordinating the Cybersecurity and Privacy Professionals Conference and other professional learning events.
- Revising and refining the Cybersecurity and Privacy Guide, which provides effective practices and timely guidance on hot topics for colleges and universities.
- Developing and promoting tools to help campuses improve their cybersecurity and privacy programs.
- Fostering communication and networking within the community.
- Providing cybersecurity and privacy expertise on issues of public policy affecting higher education.
Cybersecurity and Privacy Advisory Committee
The Cybersecurity and Privacy Advisory Committee, previously known as the HEISC Advisory Committee, is responsible for ensuring progress in meeting the strategic priorities of the program. To accomplish this, the committee creates and monitors working groups and sponsors other activities, annually reviews the strategic priorities to see if changes are needed, and annually sets objectives for the working groups that will produce tangible outcomes furthering the goals of the council.
