Troy University’ s security chief William Greg Price explains how cybersecurity, AI and the right partnerships keep 70,000 end users engaged
Troy University( TROY) was founded in 1887 as a small teacher-training college in rural Alabama. Today, it is home to more than 22,000 active students, while 70,000 use its digital platforms each year.
It is a transformation that would be impossible to explain without understanding the man who has guided its technology strategy for the better part of three decades.
Dr William Greg Price is the Vice Chancellor and Chief Information Security Officer( CISO) at TROY.
Greg, as he prefers to be known, has led Troy University’ s technology strategy for more than 25 years, having first joined the institution in the 90s as a student.
After graduating, he worked in IT-based roles across manufacturing and government agencies but he returned to his roots to build his professional life at the college.
“ When I had an opportunity to return and play a pivotal role in moving the technology environment forward in the mid-1990s, it was a wonderful opportunity,” he says.“ A return-to-home type proposition.”
That sense of belonging has translated into a tenure marked by relentless institutional ambition. troy. edu 5
