General SysAdmin at our university is very decentralized. The current approach is "policy" in conjunction with reporting, scanning, and IDS. http://security.ucdavis.edu/cybersafety.cfm http://manuals.ucdavis.edu/ppm/310/310-21.htm - note IV.B http://security.ucdavis.edu/vuln_resources.cfm http://www.ucop.edu/irc/itlc/sautter/ucd_2005_winner.html -Bob Kehr -----Original Message----- From: Hunt,Keith A [mailto:keith () UAKRON EDU] Sent: Thursday, August 17, 2006 8:20 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Centralized security administration I was having a conversation with our CIO recently about the difficulties faced by a central IT department asked to assume responsibility for the security posture of servers owned and managed by non-IT departments. He asked me how other universities address this issue. So here I am asking you kind folks. Have you been able to establish effective policies and procedures that provide for central IT personnel to oversee the security aspects of non-IT devices (especially servers and network equipment)? Have you developed some other approach that works better? How do you reconcile the need for decentralized systems/network admin functions with the need for an enterprise approach to security?
