Transforming and Securing Education through Tech
September 1, 2022 – Published on Cyber Magazine
Andres Andreu is the Chief Information Officer at 2U. His role entails overseeing everything to do with security, in ensuring those educational potentialities are maximised by minimising the risk involved when such systems are online.
“I’m responsible for the internal side of the house – or what is traditionally called IT security,” he says, “and I’m also responsible for everything having to do with the customer-facing side of the house, which is where we engage with our partners, instructors and students – a larger ecosystem than the internal side. I also oversee SRE (Site Reliability Engineering) or DevOps and DevSecOps as well.”
As CISO, there could hardly be someone better fitted for the job at 2U. Andreu has a long and fruitful professional history, steeped in the expertise that such a position requires.
In this interview with Cyber Magazine, Andreu discusses the 2U environment, challenges and explains how GuidePoint Security has been a trusted partner to him and his organization: “GuidePoint Security have proven themselves to be not only very knowledgeable in the spaces where we’ve used the, but extremely trustworthy. And to me that’s a great combination,” Andreu says. “It’s a combination that basically becomes an extension of my team. My team is small, but our scope of responsibility is broad. And so I see GuidePoint as a trusted extension of my team and it’s been an invaluable relationship.”
