How Agentic AI Creates a New Operating Model for Higher Education Security

Colleges and universities must protect open networks, unmanaged devices, sensitive student information, valuable research, and critical digital services. Yet many campus security teams begin each day facing hundreds — or thousands — of alerts spread across disconnected security tools. Analysts spend valuable time gathering evidence and reconstructing incidents while attackers are already moving through the environment.

The answer to these challenges lies in an agentic security operations center (SOC), which creates a fundamentally different operating model for higher education cybersecurity. AI agents can gather evidence, correlate signals, reconstruct attack timelines, prioritize threats and recommend response actions — turning fragmented alerts into evidence-backed cases ready for analyst judgment.

Join us to learn more about how agentic SOCs are transforming higher education cybersecurity. We will share lessons from higher education deployments, including how the Texas A&M University has protected distributed infrastructure and reclaimed approximately 100 hours of analyst time through security workflow automation. 

Why attend:

  • See how AI agents automate investigation and turn alerts into prioritized, evidence-backed threat cases
  • Learn why connected security data is essential for faster detection, investigation and response
  • Discover practical approaches for expanding SOC capacity without adding headcount
