Higher-ed institutions rely on third-party software for all sorts of necessary functions, but the vendors developing that software don’t often prioritize accessibility. In my role as Senior Cybersecurity Training Specialist, I’ve worked with the University of Illinois’ cybersecurity training vendor, Proofpoint, to help them make their training modules and platform more accessible. In this session, I’ll share proven strategies and tips for partnering with a vendor to improve accessibility in third-party software.
