Call for exemplars - Inaugural Information Security Horizon Report

[Brian Kelly <bkelly () EDUCAUSE EDU>]

Colleagues,

As you may know, EDUCAUSE has been working closely with an expert panel to prepare the 2021 Information Security 
Horizon Report.
We have recently concluded the voting for the six most important key technologies and practices for higher ed 
information security.


For this inaugural Information Security Horizon Report project, we will continue the long-standing tradition of 
reaching out to the community for projects that illustrate these technologies and practices in action. If your 
institution is working with any of the six (listed below), we encourage you to submit your project or initiative via 
the below-linked form. You are welcome to submit more than one project.


This work can be in almost any form: production or pilot programs, research projects, faculty undertakings, emerging 
technology trials, or evaluation/assessment projects. The intent is to give readers a more concrete sense of how these 
technologies and practices are playing out in higher education. We include three such exemplary projects for each of 
the six technologies and practices highlighted in the EDUCAUSE Information Security Horizon Report. We will also be 
inviting a subset of the authors of the submissions for future case studies or EDUCAUSE Review articles.


The six key technologies and practices selected by the expert panel for 2021 are:

  *   Cloud Vendor Management
  *   Endpoint Detection & Response
  *   Multi-factor authentication/SSO
  *   Preserving Data Authenticity/Integrity
  *   Research security
  *   Student data privacy & governance


The URL for the submission form is:

The deadline for submission is December 18, 2020.  These exemplar projects are the heart of the Horizon Report.

Many thanks in advance for contributing to the new Information Security 2021 edition!
