He notes the scale and diversity of university environments make them prime targets for social engineering and identity compromise, citing FortiRecon observations of 4.6 billion stealer logs shared on the dark web. Palm advocates a platform approach with AI-enabled integrations and agents to boost analyst productivity, automate mundane L1 triage, and enable proactive threat hunting. He outlines a six-item checklist: Know your exposure via CTEM, harden identity with strong MFA, patch faster as exploitation windows shrink to 24\u201348 hours, modernize detections through signal correlation, automate response to reduce MTTD\/MTTR, and prepare for impact with tested incident response plans, exercises, resilient backups, and an IR retainer.<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Meet Jason Palm<br \/>01:02 AI Adoption in Education<br \/>01:47 Attackers Using AI<br \/>03:13 Identity as the Battleground<br \/>04:32 Defending with AI Platforms<br \/>05:14 AI for Analyst Efficiency<br \/>07:13 Checklist Know Your Exposure<br \/>08:34 Harden Identity and Patch Fast<br \/>10:34 Modernize Detection and Response<br \/>11:59 Prepare for Impact Events<\/p>\n<p>Additional resources:<\/p>\n<p>Sponsored by Fortinet<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/campustechnology.com\/articles\/ed-tech-visionaries\/20260528-ai-identity-and-speed-cybersecurity-priorities-for-higher-ed.aspx\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI, Identity, and Speed: Cybersecurity Priorities for Higher Ed &#8212; Campus Technology https:\/\/campustechnology.com\/articles\/ed-tech-visionaries\/20260528-ai-identity-and-speed-cybersecurity-priorities-for-higher-ed.aspx Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":258124,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/campustechnology.com\/-\/media\/EDU\/CampusTechnology\/2026\/05\/20260528fortinetteaser.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[20,25,57],"class_list":["post-258123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-phishing","tag-security"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258123"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258123"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258123\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":258126,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258123\/revisions\/258126"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258124"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
