The University of Rochester info security team participates in the Student Scare Fair Day with a security awareness 
themed game booth.  We give out security awareness t-shirts (Halloween themed) and candy.  Approx. 500 students 
participate each year. 
 
On Halloween we are launching a Zombie themed security awareness game through the University facebook page.
 
The October Security Tips of the Week (which go to all faculty, staff and students) were focused on Protecting your 
Identity.    This year, we also developed a video that used a personal interest story to highlight the issues around 
Identity Theft and the steps faculty, staff, and students can take to help prevent their identity being stolen.

Subject: [SECURITY] Tell Us How Your National Cyber Security Awareness Month Plans Are Going!
 
This is the last full week of National Cyber Security Awareness Month 2011, but it’s not too late to participate! Let 
us know:
 
·        How are your security awareness initiatives going?
·        Are you doing anything you consider to be really fun and different?
·        How are you reaching students on campus?
 
Here are a few initiatives that are just a little off the beaten track:
 
Georgetown University held an Information Security Jeopardy game for staff. The institution also presents a data 
security recognition award each year.
·         Brown University hosted an Information Security Group booth during the “Be Safe Brown!” Campus Safety 
Resource Fair.
·         RIT’s Information Security Office has a Facebook page with over 5,000 fans! They hold a “membership drive” 
each fall. https://www.facebook.com/RITInfosec
·         The University of Cincinnati offered demonstrations, invited guest vendors, and held a “Shred It” event on 
campus.
·         Holyoke Community College hosted the 5th annual Pioneer Valley Information Security Awareness Conference.
·         The University of Northern Colorado chose the topic of “Don’t be a Zombie about Mobile Device Security” and 
developed postcards, posters, and table tents. During the campus Annual Health and Safety Fair, they had a booth and 
offered iPhone cases with the university logo and URL to the cyber security website.
·         Texas State University is holding the 5th running  of the Cyber Security Awareness Day  security conference 
on October 26th
·         Several institutions, including Tulane University, started offering the SANS Securing The Human security 
awareness training program for staff this month.
As in previous years, the Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC), the National Cyber Security Alliance 
(NCSA), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continue to make getting involved even easier.
