Re: Information Security at your Institution

Hi Daniel,

 Have you had a look at the recent ECAR publication: "The Career of an IT Security Officer in Higher Ed".
        http://www.educause.edu/Resources/TheCareeroftheITSecurityOffice/174273

 It is a good study of our field with a specific focus on the ISO. It doesn't directly address your question, but 
contains some discussion on how IT security is handled as it relates to the ISO.

Subject: [SECURITY] Information Security at your Institution

Hello All,

I am conducting some research on how Institutions have organized their "IT Security" departments.  I have the following 
questions:

1. How many students and employees are at your institution?
2. How many units/departments are dedicated to IT Security (Risk Assessments, System & Network Security, Compliance, 
etc)?
3. How many full-time and part-time employees are there in your security units?
4.  Do you have any cross departmental committees or units that handle security matters?

Thank you in advance for your responses.  Once I receive this information I will send a compiled summary to the list.
