Proactive Data Governance with Cranfield University

Cranfield University, a British postgraduate university, is a global leader for education and transformational research in technology and management. Every year, Cranfield University delivers academic courses in 50 countries outside of the UK and executive development to over 15,000 people making them one of the UK’s top five commercial research-intensive universities.

Matthew Verrier, Systems Manager at Cranfield University, manages the underlying infrastructure and core applications for the university, which includes ensuring data security. Matthew said “Following the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), data governance and compliance has been brought to the fore. At the university, we created various new roles to ensure we are effectively managing data security. Rubrik will play its part in our overall strategy to discover what and where personally identifiable information (PII) is stored in order to improve processes,”

Data governance creates different challenges for universities. Cranfield had challenges such as potential blind spots in what types of sensitive data exists where, an increase in ransomware and security attacks calls for proactive mitigation measures, and a reactive approach to identifying and addressing risks due to lack of visibility.

Join us for this webinar with Ed Poll, Head of IT Infrastructure at Cranfield University, who will run through how their new strategy has helped overcome some of these challenges.
