Transcript of Cathy’s Interview
“Every year, we’re starting to see another step up in terms of new obligations when it comes to compliance – from local compliance on our campuses or with our board of trustees to state auditors and regulatory compliance plus the national level with all of their different compliance levels.
Between the increasingly wide spread bad actors and threat vectors being managed by security operations and the growth in compliance, these departments are enormously busy.”
