As we get ready to close out 2024 and look ahead to 2025, it's time to prioritize data privacy as a cornerstone of our cybersecurity efforts. In his latest blog, 𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹: 𝗡𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸, Bill Balint sheds light on the importance of this annual event and how it empowers both institutions and individuals to take control of their data. Data Privacy Week (January 27-31) is a reminder that privacy and cybersecurity are deeply intertwined, yet distinct. While cybersecurity protects data, data privacy puts control in the hands of individuals. With initiatives like GDPR reshaping data management and institutions like Yale leading the charge, this week is an opportunity to reflect, educate, and act. At TriVigil, we’re committed to helping educational institutions navigate the complex challenges of cybersecurity and privacy. Let’s make 2025 the year of proactive resolutions for data protection and privacy awareness.

As we enjoy the holiday season, it’s important to remember that cybersecurity doesn’t take a holiday. In his latest blog, 𝘽𝙖𝙝 𝙃𝙪𝙢𝙗𝙪𝙜: 𝘾𝙮𝙗𝙚𝙧 𝙍𝙞𝙨𝙠 𝙞𝙣 𝙀𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 – 𝘼 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡 𝙇𝙪𝙢𝙥 𝙤𝙛 𝘾𝙤𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙤𝙘𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜!, Scott Bailey dives into Moody's recent elevation of the education sector’s risk rating from “moderate” to “high.” With $356 billion in high-risk debt and increasing cyber incidents, the stakes for educational institutions are higher than ever. From ransomware to data breaches, these threats impact not only financial stability but also the future of education itself. Scott highlights the critical need for proactive cybersecurity measures and trusted partnerships to safeguard institutions during this challenging time. This is a must-read for education leaders looking to protect their operations and reputation. Give your institution the gift of resilience this season.

Grateful for the opportunity to attend the TAMS/TARS Legislative Conference and hear insightful discussions with senators, representatives, and educational leaders about the future of public education in Texas. Proud to represent TriVigil and advocate for stronger cybersecurity measures to safeguard the future of our schools and students.

When we think about the holidays, we often think of giving—but for educational institutions, the gift no one wants is a data breach. Bill Balint’s latest blog, ‘Tis the Season for the Gift That Keeps on Taking, shines a spotlight on the escalating cyber risks facing education today. From the tragic closure of Lincoln College after a devastating cyberattack to the $3.5 million average cost of breaches in the education sector, the stakes are higher than ever. With ransomware attacks becoming more sophisticated and widespread, institutions must proactively protect their students, staff, and data. Bill emphasizes the importance of engaging a trusted partner who understands the unique challenges of the education sector. By taking action now, schools and colleges can mitigate risks and avoid becoming the next unfortunate statistic.

As National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) wrapped up its 20th anniversary, we’re reminded that cybersecurity is more than just “an IT issue”—it’s a critical business risk impacting every level of leadership. In higher education, with an expanded focus on cyber resilience, even the most rigorous cybersecurity measures can’t eliminate all threats. In his latest blog, Bill Balint dives into the complexities of state breach notification laws—a crucial but often overlooked aspect of data breach response. While federal regulations like GLBA, FERPA, and HIPAA are well-known, compliance with state-specific breach laws is equally vital. With each state having its own rules on breach notifications, timelines, and data triggers, institutions face a complex, evolving patchwork of requirements. From California’s pioneering 2003 notification law to Pennsylvania’s recent updates, Bill explores how these laws vary and why staying informed is essential. Dive into the blog to understand why breach notification laws matter and how institutions can stay prepared against ever-evolving threats. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/g5WpZhSc #Cybersecurity #DataProtection #StateLaws #HigherEdCyber #DataBreach #CyberAwareness #BreachNotification #PublicPolicy #HigherEducation #CyberCompliance #InformationSecurity #NCSAM #CyberRisk #TriVigil #k12
