Re: Student Workers on the Security Team?

Alex,

We have 2 student assistants on our Information Security team and I think its a great idea to have them on the team. We 
are fortunate to have a Bachelor of Science in Information Security & Assurance program, and recruit students from that 
program. A non-disclosure agreement is required at hiring and we do our best to match projects to each of their 
distinct talents, and match their access rights to their professional development.

Hope this helps,
Stephen

Subject: [SECURITY] Student Workers on the Security Team?




I’m new to our university and I’m also new to the educational environment. We have a VERY small security team and it 
would be nice to be able to delegate some tasks to another person. Do any of you use students on your security teams 
and if so, what do you allow them to access/administer/manage and how much access do you give them? Do you have them 
sign non-disclosure agreements? Do you have any policies regarding their employment? 



Thanks for any help you can give.
