Security Technology Working Group
The Security Technology Working Group evaluates security technologies to ensure that proposed solutions conform to established security, compliance and privacy standards. In addition, it anticipates security issues that may arise as needs change or as technologies advance. The group promotes the university community’s awareness of technical or procedural solutions and evaluates the current environment for security enhancements. It also serves as a “reality check” for the IT Policy and Compliance Working Group on the feasibility of implementing proposed conceptual approaches. An example would be proposing a solution for encrypting mobile devices. Another example would be discussing the number of attacks/vulnerabilities seen across campus and recommending a patch management solution as a mitigation strategy.
