Re: HEISC January 2017 Update: New Resources & List Reminders

[Sharon Pitt <spitt () BINGHAMTON EDU>]

Thanks Valerie.

I'll add that I believe that there is a very important article on data
privacy and autonomy privacy in the Security Matters blog column by Sol
Bermann:

Happy day before Data Privacy Day!
