Deep Fakes, AI and International Education: Tech security in a high-risk era (The PIE re-broadcast))

This week we're sharing a conversation from last month's The PIE webinar featuring Convera's Head of Content Alex Lawrence and the University of Denver's Janet Burkhardt. They delve into the escalating cyber threats faced by higher education institutions, particularly focusing on the rise of sophisticated fraud tactics such as ghost students and identity theft.

They also discuss the vulnerabilities in international payment systems and the importance of robust data protection strategies. They emphasize the need for comprehensive staff training, collaboration across departments, and the role of technology providers in enhancing cybersecurity measures.

Lastly, the discussion highlights quick wins that institutions can implement to bolster their defenses and the critical importance of governance in creating resilient institutions.
