Cyber Resiliency for Academic Registrars

Cyber incidents can have a profound impact on universities — disrupting teaching schedules, delaying graduations, exposing sensitive student information, and undermining trust in institutional systems.

Academic registrars sit at the centre of many of these risks because the academic register holds some of the most critical and sensitive data a university manages: student records, course enrolments, grades, progression decisions, and graduation outcomes.

In this Cohesity webinar designed specifically for academic registrars and registry leaders, we’ll explore how universities can strengthen cyber resilience around the academic register and the wider student record ecosystem.

The session will examine the growing cyber threat landscape facing higher education and why student systems are increasingly targeted by ransomware attacks.

We’ll discuss practical strategies for protecting academic records through modern data security approaches, including immutable backups, zero-trust data access, and proactive threat detection. Participants will also learn how universities can ensure rapid recovery of critical registry systems — minimizing disruption to enrolment, assessment cycles, and graduation processes when incidents occur.

Featuring guest speaker Lisa Dawson, Academic Registrar at the University of Edinburgh, sharing practical perspectives from one of the UK’s leading institutions.
