It’s time to drop the ad hoc approach, take a stand, and strengthen those network defenses with products and approaches that deliver. Campus technologists talk about what’s working now.

Bob Blakley’s reflections from the Digital ID World conference.
9/25/2006
Projector theft from classrooms is a sensitive subject with campus instructional technology professionals. Everybody knows it’s a problem, but nobody wants to talk much about it.

Understanding the elements that comprise IdM – and finding a long-term way to balance IdM’s costs with its benefits – can be a challenge.

Whether this will affect the search behavior of many other people is unknown. It doesn’t seem to me, from casual conversations, that many of my acquaintances would have even heard of this security beach if they hadn’t learned of it from me.

What if we could know what you are planning to do? What if we thought we knew what you are planning to do? What if law enforcement thought it knew what you were planning to do? These became questions for the real world earlier this week.

Campuses are finding imaginative ways to generate revenue from campus cards, and they’re using the $$ to offset the cost of providing convenience and service. You can, too!

It’s the smart campus administrators who are learning new data security and privacy tricks from big business and government experts.

So, before Thanksgiving I had told myself that I would read the CIFAC Project report and write about it. A quick glance had told me that it contained useful results from research of computer "incidents" and was probably not yet getting the attention it deserved.

It’s surprising how many US institutions of higher education do not have a top-flight security plan in place. Remedy that situation now with these best practices from IT and security pros nationwide.
10/26/2005
Common-sense advice on the big-picture security issues college presidents and their administrators should be thinking about now--before they see their institution in the headlines.

Illegal sharing of music and videos by students garners most of the attention—and the concern—devoted to campus copyright infringement. But adherence to copyright law, particularly in the use of course management systems by faculty and staff, also is critically important.

On the heels of Katrina, it's time to get a top-flight disaster recovery plan into place. Here's how to catch up.
10/20/2005
Following 9/11, the Campus Computing Project’s (www.campuscomputing.net) annual survey of higher education institutions folded three key questions on disaster recovery planning (DRP) into its laundry list of concerns for IT.

Students ‘converse’ under the radar during class, and now disabling bot-borne viruses threaten entire campuses.
In late September, the University of Maryland was hit hard by one of the worst computer virus infections to hit higher education in recent memory. What made the outbreak more devastating than usual was the fact that it arrived on the back of an insidious little carrier known as the SDbot, quickly disabling student computers by posing as a friendly AIM message link (“LOL, ha, check this out”) from an IM-ing buddy. Campus CIOs across the country got the news within hours, and shuddered: With the expansion of mobility and converged networks and devices (laptops, PDAs, and cell phones) their work had simultaneously become transcendent and a descent into campus security hell.

Disaster planning changes for campus IT in the post-Katrina world.
9/21/2005
Even as everyone engaged by Katrina is still, slowly, realizing the dramatic complexity of the circumstances from that storm, yet another handful of higher education institutions are preparing for a major hit.
9/19/2005
In the days immediately after Hurricane Katrina devastated Gulf Coast cities and towns, I canvassed the area’s higher ed Web sites and hotlines, trying hard to pull my mind away from the human heartbreak and objectively assess the role of technology in the schools’ disaster responsiveness. What I found as I called the hotlines and scanned the Net for the Web sites of those hardest hit, was universal (and understandable) institutional shock, and varying degrees of rudimentary business continuity—where it existed.
