Security, collaborative, data, teaching: All in summer\u2019s day of work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

June and early July 2021 means an extensive discussion of security at EDUCAUSE. The theme this year is \u201cCybersecurity turned inside out<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at the 2021 Information Security Report<\/a>. I found the scenarios and implications section to be especially helpful to being more aware of cyber threats, and will help you champion security practices to your colleagues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another theme this year is stretched budgets, not enough staff, and collaborations–and integrations or mergers of institutions. Trend of remote and hybrid workplaces due to COVID-19, has caused an explosion of device use. It\u2019s critical to think about the data: who shares it, who owns it, and who protects it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenges for researchers and data <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In his article, \u201cResearch Raiders: How to Protect Collaborative Data<\/a>,\u201d Steve Scholz writes about blind spots and security risks as academic entities share research data and collaborate with each other. There\u2019s a huge benefit to collaboration with different institutions-versus the competition. The security risks are high, though, and it\u2019s critical to protect research data. The biggest challenges: where is the data, what are you using, and how much of it is on your devices? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scholz draws a picture multiplying YOUR data by hundreds of students, faculty, and staff. How do you secure the data if you don\u2019t know WHAT you have? These are blind spots and
risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some answers to this problem? Zero Trust framework (it\u2019s a threat until found out otherwise), enforcement of compliance, privacy parameters and education, having back ups, right access to the right users, specifying and securing how data is held in the cloud; automatic data encryption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What can you do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Talk to the security professionals on your campus. The staff is the advocate for you and your institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See something that doesn\u2019t feel right? Trust your gut! Ask your IT team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you in a cybersecurity and risk management field in academe?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
