Why AI Readiness Can't Wait
<p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> In this episode of the Campus Technology Insider Podcast, we present the keynote from Jay James, cybersecurity operations manager at Auburn University, delivered at the May 2026 Tech Tactics in Education Conference. James argues that a widening gap in AI literacy is leaving students and workers unprepared as AI adoption accelerates, citing data on low training rates, rapid growth in AI-required roles, and major economic and cybersecurity impacts. He illustrates how Auburn's student-staffed Security Operations Center builds real AI-embedded experience through authentic tools, mentorship, failure tolerance, and consequential outcomes, highlighting a student project that improved phishing visibility and influenced leadership decisions. James outlines institutional readiness levels and calls for starting with practical use cases, building faculty development, and creating sustained industry feedback loops to produce AI-ready graduates.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 00:00 Podcast Introduction</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 01:00 Keynote Roadmap</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 02:18 George Story Setup</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 04:22 Why Readiness Matters</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 06:12 Workforce Data Reality</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 10:12 AI Fluency Surge</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 14:55 Opportunity and Equity</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 17:10 Cybersecurity Skills Gap</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 20:22 Auburn SOC Model</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 22:32 George Phishing Dashboard</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 24:54 Five Ingredients for Success</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 29:08 Scaling Beyond Cybersecurity</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 30:58 Policy and National Strategy</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 33:24 Campus AI Versus Teaching</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 35:54 Readiness Levels Framework</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 37:37 Four Move Playbook</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style= "margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 41:46 Closing Call to Action</span></p> <p><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: #3f2a32;"> 46:00 Podcast Outro</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Resource links:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal" style= "line-height: normal; font-size: 12pt;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a href= "https://techtacticsineducation.com/home.aspx">Tech Tactics in Education</a></span></li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; color: black;">Music: Mixkit</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; color: black;">Duration: 47 minutes</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Transcript (coming soon)</span></p>

Connecting Insight to Action in Higher Ed ERP and AI Initiatives
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">In this episode of the Campus Technology Insider podcast, Rhea Kelly, editor-in-chief of Campus Technology, speaks with Tirumala Rao Chimpiri, senior programmer analyst for enterprise applications & integrations at Stony Brook University, about CAIP-HE, a platform-agnostic reference framework for connecting insight, decision-making, and execution across enterprise environments. Chimpiri explains that organizations often invest in ERP, analytics, automation, integration, personalization, and AI, yet still struggle to turn insights into timely, coordinated action because these capabilities remain siloed and decision ownership and workflows are unclear. CAIP-HE focuses on four interdependent dimensions — cognitive automation, advanced analytics, integration and interoperability, and personalization — and is positioned as a leadership lens rather than a product or methodology. He recommends starting with a few high-impact scenarios, mapping the end-to-end flow from insight to execution, and addressing gaps through clearer governance, ownership, integration, and workflow design, noting that AI alone does not resolve decision flow or accountability.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">00:30 Tirumala Background and Motivation</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">02:23 What CAIP-HE Means</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">05:38 The Insight to Action Gap</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">07:06 How to Apply CAIP-HE</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">08:58 Why AI Alone Is Not Enough</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">10:44 Governance and Decision Rights</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">12:34 Common Modernization Mistakes</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">14:22 Key Takeaways for CIOs</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'system-ui', serif; color: black;">15:54 Closing and Where to Listen</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Resource links:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a href= "https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6273400">CAIP-HE framework</a></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a href= "https://campustechnology.com/articles/2026/04/28/why-erp-and-ai-initiatives-stall-at-the-execution-layer-a-cio-perspective.aspx"> Why ERP and AI Initiatives Stall at the Execution Layer: A CIO Perspective</a></span></li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Music: Mixkit</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; color: black;">Duration: 17 minutes</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Transcript (coming soon)</span></p>

Every Cyber Threat Is Now an AI-Driven Threat: How AI Is Reshaping Cybersecurity in Higher Ed
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">In this episode of the Campus Technology Insider Podcast, Campus Technology Editor-in-Chief Rhea Kelly hosts Ed Skoudis, president of the SANS Technology Institute, to discuss how AI is reshaping cybersecurity and what it means for higher education. Skoudis says AI is now driving all five top emerging attack trends highlighted in SANS's RSAC keynote: increased zero-day exploits, expanded supply-chain risk, growing complexity in operational technology attacks, risks of irresponsible AI use in digital forensics and incident response, and the need to use AI defensively to keep pace with attackers' speed. He explains why higher ed is harder to defend due to diverse, open, cutting-edge environments and constrained budgets, and he recommends accelerated patching, AI-assisted incident response, rapid decision-making teams, frequent tabletop exercises, threat intelligence monitoring, and flexible AI workflows that can swap models as tools change.</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">00:29 Ed Skoudis Background</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">01:00 Steampunk Office Tour</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">02:24 Antiques Meet IoT</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">03:25 AI Drives Attack Trends</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">05:01 Higher Ed Under Fire</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">05:49 Five AI Shaped Attacks</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">09:51 Lessons from Finance</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">12:05 Speeding Up Response</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">15:32 Training for AI Defense</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">18:00 AI Toolkit and Model Flexibility</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">22:01 Budget Priorities Patching First</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">25:39 Crystal Ball Rough Years Ahead</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">29:53 Zero Vulnerabilities Vision</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;">31:22 Prepare with AI Strategy</span></p> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">34:16 Closing and Where to Listen</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Resource links:</span></p> <ul> <li class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://www.sans.edu/">SANS Technology Institute</a></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a href= "https://www.sans.org/press/announcements/rsac-2026-sans-institute-top-5-most-dangerous-new-attack-techniques"> SANS Institute's Top 5 Most Dangerous New Attack Techniques</a></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a href= "https://www.sans.org/security-resources/download">SANS free cybersecurity resources</a></span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style= "font-size: 12pt;"><a href="https://isc.sans.edu/">Internet Storm Center</a></span></li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; color: black;">Music: Mixkit</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style= "font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; color: black;">Duration: 35 minutes</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Transcript (coming soon)</span></p>
