[Valerie Vogel <vvogel () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

The next EDUCAUSE Live! online seminar, "ISAAC (Information Security
Awareness, Assessment, and Compliance): A Success Story", may be of
interest to this list. Please note that this event is free, but you will
need to register online: http://net.educause.edu/live105.

On Wednesday, February 24, from 1-2 pm US Eastern Time, Steve Worona's
guests on EDUCAUSE Live! will be Don Volz (Texas State University-San
Marcos) and Jeffrey McCabe (Texas A&M University):

Risk assessment and mitigation are challenging in any environment, but
especially in the open and decentralized world of higher education.
Texas A&M University developed the ISAAC methodology and tool kit to
address this challenge. ISAAC usage has spread beyond the borders of
Texas A&M, increasing awareness, facilitating assessment, and enhancing
compliance with information security standards not only in other Texas
institutions of higher education but also in Texas state agencies. Texas
A&M's Jeff McCabe will describe how ISAAC came to be, its purpose and
scope, its current status and extent of deployment, and what the future
holds. Don Volz of Texas State University-San Marcos will describe how
his institution came to adopt ISAAC and how it has helped improve his
university's overall security posture.

Those unable to attend may wish to visit the archives

Thank you,
Valerie
