| | November - 20186EditorialAmong the myriad of top-of-mind priorities, security is one of the greatest concerns educators face today. With no formal strategy in place, security in educational institutions often remains a difficult subject to address. At present, with a few exceptions, the institution still has to rely mainly on `physical security' gates, fences, and turnstiles usually supported by some form of access control and intruder alarm systems. However, with the rise of digital transformation and BYOD culture among students and faculty, the education ecosystem is susceptible to a whole new range of attack vectors surrounding sensitive data. This requires the institutions to have automated, comprehensive, and integrated security networks designed to tackle the ever-evolving attack surface, the complexity of managing compliance and security, and the growing volume, velocity, and sophistication of threats. In order to maintain effective security, schools and universities need a combination of physical and cybersecurity solutions that work together to keep students and faculty safe without causing the environment to become less conducive to student success. In this scenario, a multitude of security specialists are leveraging latest trends to deliver for some of the highly automated, integrated, and preconfigured security solutions that will enable clients to execute industry-winning strategies. With the goal to provide end-to-end security, vendors are offering solutions that range from security cameras and recording devices to next generation firewalls and smart card access.
