Re: the importance of security

The first two items seem mainly intended to ensure that your school is a
good network citizen so I can understand a management temptation to ask
"what is the benefit to us?" Is that the problem?

Does anyone have data to help frame these particular policies in terms
of general acceptance? Are most schools now doing this or are there
pressures from the government of ISPs?

Below are the initiatives that we presented which received the highest
degree of opposition.

- SMTP authentication
- perimeter STMP filters to block mail trojans
- split DNS

There are a lot of other things that we have done or will complete
before
school starts that have not created any major opposition. It all boils
down
to what impact it has on the departmental technology units and not the
benefits that these approaches would provide.
