CISO Talk: Higher Ed Embraces Generative AI for Cloud Email+ Security
How Higher Ed Uses Generative AI Security to Block Phishing, Ransomware, and BEC Attacks
University and college campuses are a favorite target for cybercriminals because higher education has large distracted populations, research facilities, various vendors, and multiple invoices. There is a million-dollar business impact when a breach occurs from these attacks. Harnessing the power of GenAI to stop phishing is on the minds of all CISOs.
Hear from SlashNext and California Polytechnic State University ISO, Doug Lomsdalen, as they discuss the challenges of protecting a large university and how using generative AI protection is stopping BEC, payment scams, spear phishing, and other social engineering attacks.
