Security Awareness specifically for Higher Education

[Robert Boissy <Robert.Boissy () SPRINGERNATURE COM>]

Cathy,

That is a very timely question, and one that Worcester Polytechnic Institute, the Boston Library Consortium, and my 
publishing house Springer Nature are going to tackle in an information security summit on October 11 at WPI.

We have a keynoter who has been heavily involved with cybersecurity in both the corporate and higher education world, 
and several other speakers.   Also a professor from WPI specializing in security issues on the open web.  The afternoon 
features a panel with academic librarians from MIT, Boston College and UConn with a stake in information security at 
their schools.

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/information-security-summit-tickets-66569223339  Registration, breakfast and lunch are 
free.  Those on this list and in the greater Worcester area on October 11 are more than welcome to register and 
participate.

During this event, there will be components of many issues broached by REN-ISAC in their trainings, credentials 
security, etc. but we will likely go farther towards information security with the intellectual property of the campus, 
in terms of its own records, research and private information, and those information resources licensed by the campus 
and secured within the campus network.  Sci-Hub will be in the discussion as we move toward campus-publisher relations 
in the afternoon sessions.

I look forward to the general discussion you have invited on this list as well.

-Bob

Subject: [SECURITY] Security Awareness specifically for Higher Ed?

Good morning!

I've been in some interesting conversations with some companies that create security awareness online training and 
those conversations ultimately lead to this question:

What would security awareness training specifically designed for higher ed look like?  What would be different about it 
from what is created for corporate environments?

I'd really like to gather a list of thoughts from this community to bring back to these folks at some point.  Feel free 
to reply off-list if you'd prefer.

Thanks,
Cathy
