Description
New generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have increased capabilities of cyberattackers to successfully execute faster new, more harmful and more sophisticated cyberattacks against higher education institutions.
How big of a threat is generative AI a major cyberattack threat to the higher education industry? Will the technology also deliver more groundbreaking educational benefits for administrators, faculty and students? Will both happen simultaneously?
Join this new webinar titled “Closing Doors to Generative AI Cyberattacks in Higher Education – and Opening Doors to New Ways of Teaching and Learning” to find answers to these questions.
