CUCCIO has developed a national benchmarking and measurement program to collect and report on data and information related to IT in higher education across Canada.
IT security leadership development program.
CUCCIO’s IT security leadership development program (ISLDP) is how institutions mentor their next IT security leaders. From September to June this cohort of security managers from member institutions across Canada will meet regularly to learn from current and former higher education IT executives from across Canada. The over 24 hours of online class-time, two or three in-person intensives, real-world case studies, and mentoring provide an extremely rich opportunity for education to all participants.
