Security Awareness at Eastern Michigan University - Allan Edwards, EDUCAUSE Review
At Eastern Michigan University (EMU), information security is a challenge. We in the IT department understand and recommend security best practices but cannot always insist on them to the degree that we would like. For example, endpoint management tools that catalog the software on users' machines are viewed as intrusive. Mobile device management is also not possible since the devices in question are owned by the users and not supplied by the university. Because of this, much of our focus needs to be on training and education. But how can an IT department, which is small compared to the entire university, make a meaningful impact?
