Get them to help you figure out how to spread-the-word to other areas on
campus, not just those they represent, and beyond just students...

 

Help them take ownership of security as a campus-wide issue, not just
one that YOUR office owns.  Find out what they would like to learn
about, find out what security issues they think are problems on campus
or in their area, do a role-play roundtable where the members of that
group work through a table-top security crisis exercise of some
kind...see if it generates any interesting gaps in your campus processes
that would indicate a need for further discussion...

Subject: [SECURITY] Mtgs with people outside of IT?

 

Hi all!  I am the chair of a monthly meeting where we meet with other
administrative staff from finance, the Registrar's office, accounting,
payroll, hr, the internal auditor, etc.  It's supposed to be a committee
in which to discuss IT security topics with people outside of IT.  I've
been doing this for a year now and find myself at a loss for what to
discuss in the meeting and how to make it beneficial and worthwhile for
those in attendance.  Do you hold these types of meetings, and if so,
what agenda items are discussed?

 

We've discussed:

Data Retention

Handling of Sensitive Information

The creation of online courses for students, faculty, and staff

Physical Security

How to best communicate with students

 

Any insight will be appreciated!
