Ohio Higher Education IT Leadership Summit

Where higher education IT leaders shape what’s next.

Higher education IT teams are responsible for keeping increasingly interconnected institutions running—from identity and communications to learning platforms, research environments, public safety, and essential campus services. When one part of that environment is disrupted, the impact can extend far beyond the security team.

The Ohio Higher Education IT Leadership Summit brings together CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, and senior technology leaders from institutions across Ohio for a day focused on the priorities shaping higher education IT today, including cybersecurity, infrastructure, data strategy, AI, and digital learning.

Centripetal will be there to join the conversation around building greater resilience and reducing the risk that cyber threats create for the systems and services your higher education institution depends on.

Systemic Risk Under Pressure: Leading Through a Campus Cyber Crisis

Thursday, October 22 | 4:00–4:45 PM

Cyber disruptions can quickly affect vendors, identity systems, communications, and essential campus services. Colin Little, Security Solutions Architect at Centripetal, will join the panel to examine how higher education leaders can navigate an institution-wide cyber crisis.

Using a scenario that begins with compromised credentials and escalates into a vendor outage and possible data exposure, Colin and his fellow panelists will examine incident command, executive notification, legal coordination, and recovery priorities.

The discussion will identify the information leaders need, the tradeoffs they must escalate, and the preparations required to sustain payroll, learning, public safety, and student services during an institution-wide crisis while maintaining confidence across the institution.
