I've heard the argument two ways: 1) Attempting to secure ALL data at the same high level is futile, and 2) Applying different levels of security to different data classifications leaves high security data open to disclosure if incorrectly classified, or provides an unexpected back door to climb upwards in the system. In my personal opinion, lock it all down at the highest security level and sleep better at night. Bob Robert E. Meyers, Ms.Ed.

We have a single SAN environment where all data is co-mingled. I am wondering how many other Universities have taken steps to separate their data logically or physically so addition security can be added to data with higher sensitivity ratings? I would be interested in learning what others have implemented to apply appropriate data handling procedures to their data at rest.
