Re: Size of IT Security Department

[Allen Chang <allen () RESCOMP BERKELEY EDU>]

Are you asking about the campus overall or just for the Residence Hall?

For the number of computers we're responsible for, we don't have much
staffing (on both levels).

Campus: 5 full-time and 1 student.

ResHalls(~6,000 computers): 2 students.

I'm guessing this doesn't help your presentation necessarily, but I'm
interested in knowing the host/staff hour for other schools
