similar to others, we required that any desktop systems and/or peripherals (2nd monitors, speakers, web cams, etc) be registered by filling out a form, so we would have it all documented. (Stating the obvious, institution-owned laptops were exempt since they by definition are mobile devices.) We requested a reason / justification for the need, but I don't think there was an actual review of them or any denials of requests. We'd surely rather they used their Smith equipment than their old home computer that's who knows how many layers of unprotected it would be, and used by all the household members to potentially visit the slimiest places one might stumble upon... -- Ben On Tue, May 12, 2020 at 5:13 PM Menne, Michael S <michael.menne () mnsu edu> wrote:
As with SDSU, we didn’t have time to plan anything. We vacated the campus in about 2 days. Anything that is of value (permanently holds sensitive data) is already tagged and tracked by department, department head, and individual responsible for the equipment. We didn’t have time to go through any other procedures. We will have to rely on our asset tracking data. It’s not great, but I’ve been working hard over the last 5 years and have dramatically improved it. *Michael Menne, CISSP* *Chief Information Security Officer* *IT Solutions Information Security* *Minnesota State University, Mankato* *Phone: (507) 389-5705* *www.mnsu.edu/its/security <https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mnsu.edu%2Fits%2Fsecurity&data=02%7C01%7Cmichael.menne%40mnsu.edu%7C00f2f1afdcf544ac511508d758826763%7C5011c7c60ab446ab9ef4fae74a921a7f%7C0%7C0%7C637075189428878307&sdata=%2FUAwDG0vB%2BVztf92DOtb6gMc78WzZhdfsjAyBSKlbHU%3D&reserved=0>* *minnstate.zoom.us/j/5073895705 <https://minnstate.zoom.us/j/8364614046>* [image: signature_2008603909] *Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

We only had a couple of days to vacate the campus, so there wasn't a lot of time for planning. Our ITS department and a sister campus provided loaners to faculty and students as well.

We have been getting numerous requests, mostly by research faculty to take their desktop computers home with them for the duration of the work from home portion of the pandemic. I’ve been asked to provide some guidelines to our COVID working group and would like to know if anyone has something already done that they would be willing to share. Appreciate the help. Thank you!
