My guess is the first thing you will hear is "Academic Freedom" on why no filtering should be allowed. Filter only known bad traffic such as malware distribution sites and put a web cache in. steve On Wed, Apr 22, 2015 at 1:08 PM, Donald Welch <djwelch () umich edu> wrote:
Colleagues, I'm the new CISO for the University of Michigan. I look forward to meeting you and working with you. One of my first issues is web content filtering. I've been asked whether any other higher education institutions implement web content filtering and if so what groups to you filter for and what kinds of content. If you wish, I'd also welcome your opinion on how well it works. This has started with our health system and my guess is that would be our focus if we went forward. However, one of our Trustees has been questioning why we don't filter across the University. I have to go to an initial meeting Friday afternoon, so any info you can give me before then would be much appreciated. Sincerely, Don Donald J.
