Yale’s smart campus strategy: defeating AI cyber threats in cloud

TLDR:

• Yale’s Information Technology Department reported a rise in high-quality phishing attacks due to AI.
• Yale announced two initiatives: Bee SAFE, Not Sorry and Click with Caution.

Yale is taking steps to protect its students and combat cybersecurity threats. The ‘Bee SAFE, Not Sorry’ initiative emphasizes recognizing, reporting, and responding to cybersecurity incidents, while the ‘Click with Caution’ campaign focuses on recognizing phishing attempts and social engineering. Yale is constantly adjusting its security measures to counteract the evolving threats against students’ data, implementing techniques and technologies to manage risks posed by AI’s rapid growth.

Many students are confident in Yale’s ability to protect their data, with features like Duo Mobile authentication providing additional security measures. However, as cyberattacks become more sophisticated, Yale continues to adapt and respond to new threats.
