As AI becomes more prevalent & cybercriminals become increasingly sophisticated, how can AI be leveraged for both offensive and defensive purposes at higher ed institutions?

It's the training and preparation of cyber professionals that future-proofs an organization. Preparing for the world we now face requires more than noodling with prompts; it requires dedicated study. I suggest forming topical study or reading groups.

What is your favorite activity that you believe changed user behavior for the better?

Consider this: Why do we expect users to change? They didn't create this problem; it was created by the various applications. For an organization, mandating single sign-on (SSO) and supporting integrations with mobile technologies such as Face ID, combined with aggressive use of a password manager or passkeys, is probably the best you can do.

What is the most widely adopted cybersecurity framework within higher education: NIST CSF, ISO 27001, or CMMI Cybermaturity?

There seems to be a trend to embrace NIST standards in general, and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) specifically. As more federal agencies try to harmonize their regulatory approach to cybersecurity, more universities and colleges are turning to NIST. To be honest, NIST is the gold standard.
