Re: Policies for personally-owned computers connecting to staff network?

["HALL, NATHANIEL D." <halln () OTC EDU>]

We run two separate networks for college use and personal use.  All
computers on the primary internal network are maintained by our central
IT department.  We allow wireless for PEAP authenticated devices which
are also managed by IT.  The other network we allow students and
employees to connect personal computers to.  There is a firewall
protecting them from the Internet (and vice-versa) and a required login
for accountability.  This entire network is logically located outside of
our main firewalls.

 

If you would like more detail, just let me know and I will try to
explain it better.

Subject: [SECURITY] Policies for personally-owned computers connecting
to staff network?

 

I am curious to know what kinds of policies other universities have for
allowing personal (non-university owned) computers and devices to their
staff networks?  We have requests periodically by staff and faculty
members to allow their personally owned laptops access to our staff
network and resources. Without a good Network Access Control system in
place how are others handling these requests and the potential security
threats associated. 

 

Thank you,

-Craig
