2024 EDUCAUSE Horizon Report | Cybersecurity and Privacy Edition – summary and overview. Published: Monday, September 30, 2024 “These are, in many ways, tumultuous times. Global political movements and ideologies continue to erode social ties and disrupt state and national legislative processes. Wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East threaten to destabilize the global order. And new AI-powered technologies are evolving at breakneck speed, offering the world both the promise of new utopian capabilities and the threat of dystopian collapse. Against this backdrop of seismic change, higher education cybersecurity and privacy professionals must navigate new questions around what needs to be done to keep our institutions and our students safe and secure. This report summarizes expert panelist discussions on these and other emerging trends and offers reflections on where the future of higher education may be headed. This project was grounded in a modified Delphi methodology that seeks to elevate the collective perspectives and knowledge of a diverse group of experts, with facilitation tools adapted from the Institute for the Future.
