Educational institutions face growing challenges in managing IT infrastructure securely throughout its lifecycle. This session, "Infrastructure Lifecycle Management through a Security Fabric," explores how integrating a unified Security Fabric into Infrastructure Lifecycle Management (ILM)—from planning and deployment to maintenance and retirement—enhances security, efficiency, and adaptability.
Attendees will learn how a Security Fabric connects and protects networks, endpoints, applications, and cloud systems, enabling proactive, automated defense. Real-world examples from education will show how this approach supports compliance, minimizes risk, and strengthens digital learning environments. Ideal for IT leaders and educators seeking secure, scalable infrastructure strategies.
