Data Security in Higher Ed: A Moving Target - Michael Hart, Campus Technology

How do you make sure everybody with access to information on your campus knows what they have and how to keep it secure — in an ever-changing landscape of behaviors and risks? So, are you worried about the teaching assistant in the basement of the chemistry building selling beakers to students to use in their labs? How about the system the popular pizza place across the street from campus is using to process credit card transactions? Probably not — but you should be.

However, they can make your school just as vulnerable as any information gap you might find in the admissions office. http://campustechnology.com/articles/2015/09/24/data-security-in-higher-ed-a-moving-target.aspx
