Hi Ron, Hope all is well at good ole Saint E's (two family members went there). In answer to your question, here it depends on security scope of the service or asset. Certain resources can only be reached from institutional machines and so on. Not comprehensive but aligns to some fashion of threat assessment. In terms of a personal machines being a bad idea, no argument. Can you force them into a DMZ? Most services the average users needs are web-based for our campus. The risk to the staff personal device would be the same as any other public connection but might tamp down the campus' exposure. As for policy, have you looked at NIST 8--53 or 800-171? Some alignment with accepting Federal Financial Aid (Dear Colleague letters). -- JOHN BRADLEY (He, Him, His, Himself) Assistant CIO/ Associate Director of Computing Services 0217 Feinberg 101 Broad Street Plattsburgh, NY 12901 (o) 518-564-2435 <+1-518-564-2435> plattsburgh.edu <https://www.plattsburgh.edu/> [image: Facebook Logo] <https://www.facebook.com/sunyplattsburgh> [image: Twitter Logo] <https://twitter.com/sunyplattsburgh> [image: Instagram Logo] <https://www.instagram.com/sunyplattsburgh/> [image: Snapchat Logo] <https://www.snapchat.com/add/sunyplattsburgh> [image: LinkedIn Logo] <https://www.linkedin.com/school/suny-plattsburgh/> [image: SUNY Plattsburgh Logo] **This email message, including any attachments is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

Hi Everyone - I'm curious as to whether you have policies on your campuses requiring the use of institutional-owned computers for work and how effectively you might manage this faculty as well.. I've been saying to people it's bad security practice to be letting people use their own laptops (especially on the staff side) but it might be time to formalize something before people start thinking too much about going in this direction. Any thoughts you might have on this would be greatly appreciated as well as any policies on this that you might be willing to share. Thank you in advance!
