The Northeast Ohio CyberConsortium, launched in 2015 by Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Clinic, has grown into a multimember, multi-industry information security analysis organization.

Yet in the technology-driven environments of today's colleges, particularly at research-intensive institutions, IT leaders must strive to balance that openness with the need to keep data secure.

Automated tools are making it easier to address both aims, even as colleges dramatically scale the amount of data they process.
