A Security Framework Tailor-Made for Higher Ed - Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

When the Heartbleed security vulnerability made major headlines, higher ed leaders across the nation were reminded that security must be continuously managed as a program. Until recently no framework existed specifically for assessing higher ed security maturity. That void was filled last year when the Higher Education Information Security Council launched its freely available HEISC Information Security Program Assessment Tool. This free spreadsheet tool from Educause can help identify gaps in a college or university security profile and kick-start a security conversation on campus. http://campustechnology.com/articles/2014/05/08/a-security-framework-tailor-made-for-higher-ed.aspx
