Security and Compliance Solutions for Higher Education
|
"The persistence of security incidents and reported data breaches, and a growing number of compliance requirements including security-related state and federal regulations and contractual obligations, make this a central and acute concern of all IT organizations, no matter their institutions' sizes and missions."
- EDUCAUSE Current Issues Survey Report, 2008 |
According to a 2008 survey published by EDUCAUSE, IT Security is the top strategic issue for IT departments at colleges and universities. Driven by privacy concerns and the need to comply with regulations such as the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), institutions must secure sensitive data and protect their networks from internet threats.
