GEORGIA TECH
“ Right now we ’ re working with Deloitte to help us assess our identity and access management function and then develop plans for modernising that over the next few years . We ’ re also working with them to assess and develop plans for maturing our overall campus network architecture , so we can make this more 21st century and put us in a place where we can really meet the current and future needs of our business partners across campus .”
Another of Georgia Tech ’ s key cybersecurity partners is Elastic , which is helping when it comes to cybersecurity data decision analytics .
“ With all the things we ’ re working on in terms of leveraging cybersecurity data for decision making , Elastic is one of our key partners helping us to mature that process and that set of services ,” Howell comments .
“ They ’ re also helping us to turn cybersecurity data into value for not just the security operations centre ( SOC ) and our IT colleagues across campus , but sometimes students or faculty may want that data as part of their research or academic activities . The team at Elastic are working with us to figure out how to make that happen in a secure and safe way .”
Highlighting the importance of these partnerships , Howell describes these relationships as an extension of the team at Georgia Tech .
“ It ’ s more than a transactional relationship for me ,” he says . “ Strong partners build a relationship with you by spending the time to learn your organisation , understand your strategic objectives , and provide you with some form of insights in how they can help you get there . cybermagazine . com 83
