How Multi-Campus Universities can Build a more Connected Security Program

Parts 1 and 2 of this series looked at two pressures facing higher education security teams. First, the threat landscape: universities are dealing with more frequent attacks across complex, distributed environments, while campus-by-campus security can make it harder to share intelligence and coordinate response. Second, the compliance burden: overlapping requirements across FERPA, GLBA, HIPAA, and CMMC make it difficult to establish what data was affected, which reporting obligations apply, and how quickly the institution needs to act.This final part is about what changes when a university sys

From One Account to Every Mailbox: Breaking Zimbra's Identity Boundaries (Part 1)

An enterprise mail server authenticates users, stores private communications, delivers recovery links, runs calendars, and sends mail that employees and other systems trust. Compromising it can therefore expose both email and the identities and workflows built around it.During a broader assessment of Zimbra Collaboration Suite (ZCS), Rapid7 reported more than 80 vulnerabilities spanning authentication, mailbox authorization, calendar processing, web clients, document services, and the host operating system. The affected components are being fixed on different schedules, so we are publishing th

Four compliance frameworks, one security team: Why fragmented university security raises regulatory risk

In Part 1 of this series, we looked at the security challenges created by fragmented, campus-by-campus environments. Higher education also faces a second pressure that makes that fragmentation harder to sustain: overlapping compliance obligations across FERPA, GLBA, HIPAA, and CMMC.Each framework brings different requirements, reporting timelines, and consequences for failure. Managing them across one institution is already complex, but across a multi-campus university system with separate tools, staff, data stores, and governance practices, it becomes much harder to establish what happened, w
