Hi Lee Anne, These are abstract questions so I'll do my best to answer them concisely: (1) The risks are different, the threats are similar. (2) The goal is similar. (3) Organizational structures vary. (4) Students and faculty. :p (5) Broad co-operation throughout the sector. (6 & 7) Yes. security is predicated on organizational priorities and needs. Needs vary, so approaches to security varies. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Brian Basgen Information Security Pima Community College Office: 520-206-4873 -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Hart, Lee Anne Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 6:56 AM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] IT Security in Higher Ed. Hello, I'd like to do a little research on how or if IT Security in Higher Education is different from other organizations such as the government and corporate America. - Are the threats/risks different? - Is the purpose or goal different? - Are there organizational differences? - Unique challenges to working in higher ed? - Why do you work in higher ed? - Unique benefits to higher ed? - Have you worked for the government or a "for profit" company? If so, what differences do you see? - Should it be different? Why/why not? - Do you know of similar articles or threads on this topic? - Other? Thanks in advance for you help. Feel free to respond offline. I'll review the responses and use the information in blog entry I'll share with list.
