Higher ed data security an ongoing process, not a problem to be solved - Tara García Mathewson, Education Dive

Higher education institutions won’t ever get to a point where they can stop worrying about protecting data, so the best strategy is to prepare for continual training and review. Campus Technology reports that there are clear behaviors to stay away from, including treating security as an IT problem exclusively and using the same training for everyone across the institution. Michigan Tech follows the TARR system — training, auditing, reviewing, and remediating based on a mandatory survey for every staff member at the university dealing with any kind of personal information. http://www.educationdive.com/news/higher-ed-data-security-an-ongoing-process-not-a-problem-to-be-solved/406231/
