“We need to do a better job of letting researchers know that there are resources out there, and that those of us in cybersecurity and privacy are not here to prevent them from doing their work,” he says. And then, ransomware attackers have a financial incentive to just keep people from their research.” “We’ve seen higher education institutions targeted by hackers who want to steal their research or maybe even sabotage it. “Data is the crown jewel in research,” Potchanant says. Universities must flip this script, he says, so that information security is seen as a “department of know.” Joseph Potchanant, director of cybersecurity and privacy at EDUCAUSE, says that researchers have historically looked at information security offices as the “department of no,” fearing that cybersecurity professionals would hamstring their work. To help strike that balance, UC has created a liaison between the school’s information security and research leaders, making the school one of several that are creating new systems to shore up cybersecurity for research projects. It’s a delicate balance of trying to be as secure as possible but also being able to function in an agile and efficient manner.” “If we tried to deploy all the same controls across everything, it would slow the university down to a screeching halt,” he says. Mrs Whitney never returned to Andalucía and left without looking back but she also left he impressive colossus, framed by two rivers - the Odiel and the Tinto, and it remains a permanent reminder of Columbus' faith in discoveries.Matthew Williams, executive director of information security for the University of Cincinnati, says it’s impossible to provide the same protection for users and systems across a large university. The Royal Columbian Society also remembered her in 1989 with an academic act on the 60th anniversary of the monument. On 24 June 1930, Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney was awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of King Alfonso XII in recognition of her artistic work. Later, an avenue in the Matadero district was named in her honour. That same day, the American sculptor was named an adopted daughter of Huelva. In the speeches, The Monumento a la Fe Descubridora was even compared to the Statue of Liberty in the US. The Prime Minister of Spain, Miguel Primo de Rivera, and the US ambassador Ogden Haggerty Hammond, attended the ceremony on 21 April. It appears that on 30 March the head of Columbus was placed on the massive shoulders, and the city started preparing for the inauguration. When Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney came to Huelva again, in the end of March 1929, she was surprised and pleased because the work was nearly completed. In any case, the monument in Huelva is more commonly known as 'The monument to. He is sometimes described as representing a friar from the neighbouring Franciscan friary La Rábida although Gertrude originally described the person in stone as Christopher Columbus himself. However, the finished sculpture of a man leaning on a Tau cross looks quite remarkable. The next day, the newspaper sarcastically announced that without a doubt, Columbus really would be honoured. She simply assured journalists that she had sought to symbolise the importance of the navigator and his enterprise. For example, she avoided discussing her work in terms of its artistic merit. It appears Ms Whitney was very reserved with the local press. Journalists also highlighted some details - 'The author of the project says that the monument will be the second most important in the world' or 'The monument will be built in Spain, with materials from this country'. Her stay in Huelva was covered by the local newspaper La Provincia which published eloquent headlines - 'A Yankee sculptor and architect in Huelva' and 'Visit to Punta del Cebo (the venue of future construction)'. In that period it was an unattractive beach surrounded with industrial buildings and docked ships. Originally, only two locations (Palos de la Frontera and La Rábida) were offered by local authorities for the installation, but in the end, Punta del Sebo in Huelva-city was chosen. It is believed that when Mrs Whitney arrived in the city she immediately decided where the Monument should be erected. Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney visited Huelva for the first time on 17 March 1927.
