We're also looking to use Cornell's Spider program for Rutgers-Camden
Arts & Sciences faculty and staff.

Dear Educause security community,

For those that are currently working on a project involving the
identification of sensitive data across campus, I have some items of
potential interest. I know that Teneble (Nessus) recently announced a
module that can check (with host credentials) a host for the presence of
selected types of sensitive data, but what we have chosen is
Proventsure's Asarium software. We are in the early stages of testing,
but it looks to be a tremendously helpful tool for such a large task
(depending upon the size of your institution).

Thanks Curt.  A freeware package that works in this same area is
the Cornell Spider
