My boss asked me this morning to come up with a computer security vision for the next 3-5 years. Since it is already 2010, I thought I'd get some input from the community on what would you like to see happen to computer security in higher education, how will your job change (if any), and how can we as computer security professionals in higher education institutions best protect against the growing threats? If you've seen any blogs/articles on computer security trends in higher education, please forward them my way. Here's what I've come up with so far: * Social Engineering will still be the easiest way to get confidential information. * Multi-factor security will be prevalent. * More data breach regulations. * PDAs and smart phones will be encrypted due to the sensitive email/ information that they store and how easily they are stolen. * Anti-virus software will be still used, but application white-listing will become more prevalent.
