Data has evolved significantly and become increasingly complex for education institutions. Driven by the fast-paced implementation of digital tools and platforms to support learning, research and administration, it has created a strategic challenge that is further intensified with the growing need for AI investments.   

This fragmented landscape decreases visibility into your data estate, creating compliance risks and time-consuming manual processes, as well as an urgent need to protect your data from growing threats like security leaks, AI oversharing, and insider threats. 

So the question is, how can education institutions secure their data in the face of this lack of visibility and changing landscape, whilst still supporting innovation in teaching and research? The answer starts with the right training and the right technology. 

This webinar will provide a clear overview of Microsoft Purview, a comprehensive solution that delivers the data governance, security, and compliance your institution needs. Purview helps education institutions understand where their data is, who can access, what users are doing with it, and how it is being shared. Microsoft Purview enables education institutions to protect their data, simplify operations, accelerate artificial intelligence [AI], and meet regulatory standards such as GDPR.
