Thanks, we'll look into it. I believe we are going to be implementing Box as our University sanctioned cloud solution at some point in the near future. Are there any institutions out there using Box for a scenario similar to this? -C. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Greg Williams Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2015 1:33 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: Re: [SECURITY] Looking for suggestions on how our students can securely upload sensitive documents to our Admissions department Ditto. We use it for all kinds of sensitive documents.

There is another thread going around about it right now. --Phil ________________________________________ From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] on behalf of Chris Green [CGreen () UTTYLER EDU] Sent: Wednesday, September 23, 2015 2:15 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] Looking for suggestions on how our students can securely upload sensitive documents to our Admissions department All, It was recently brought to my attention that our students are being asked to email documents containing potentially sensitive data from their student email accounts to our Admissions department. While this process is technically secure since the data is encrypted, I believe it promotes a detrimental practice to our students. The last thing I want is for our students to think it's OK to email sensitive data whenever that information is needed by a third party. Right now I am just looking for better alternatives that I can present to our Admissions department as a way to prevent this process from continuing. Any and all suggestions and/or feedback are greatly appreciated! -C. Chris Green Information Security Officer University of Texas at Tyler
