Re: IHEs & NATIONAL STRATEGY: Single Point-Of-Contact

[Jim Moore <jhmfa () RIT EDU>]

I was contacted by Steve Brandon of the Department of Justice (Computer
Crime and Intellectual Property div).  He said that he was gathering contact
points for subpoenas, and  informational messages regarding computer crime.

We made those points of contact within our campus safety organization, as
they are staffed 24x7.  And we are firming up the process to communicate
information security matters back through the Information Security Office.

Subject: [SECURITY] IHEs & NATIONAL STRATEGY: Single Point-Of-Contact


One of the recommendations in the "National Strategy To Secure
Cyberspace" (www.securecyberspace.gov) is that "each college and
university should consider establishing a point-of-contact, reachable at
all times, to Internet service providers (ISPs) and law enforcement
officials in the event that the school's IT systems are discovered to be
launching cyber attacks."

Is this a good idea?

How could it be implemented across higher education?

What are obstacles or challenges for moving forward with this
recommendation?

Other comments or insights?
