More than 1.2 billion username/password combinations have been stolen in a series of internet heists affecting 420,000+ websites. Yearly, incidents of major data loss occur at postsecondary educational institutions, potentially compromising the personal data of parents, students, faculty, and alumni. Are you protected? Do you know what to do if there is a data breach?

This session defines what you need to know, including: Personally Identifiable Information; sensitivities a breach presents; possible mitigation strategies to avoid a data breach; and steps schools should take if a data breach occurs.
