Out of the Breach and Into the Fire
| Title: | Out of the Breach and Into the Fire (ID: SEC09_170493) | | Author(s): | Heidi Wachs (Georgetown University) and Eric J. Case (The University of Arizona) | | Topics: | data incident notification, Data Security, Incident Handling and Response, information security breaches, SEC09 | | Origin: | Security Professionals Conference (04/21/2009) | | Type: | Presentations and Seminars | | Abstract: | The composition of a data breach is complex, particularly the notification process thats now required by law in most states. Universities and colleges have made preparations, but information security hinges on people and procedures, not the technical settings. The panelists will compare the commonalities, as well as the distinctions, among breaches on their campuses. Topics will include decision making about notification, notification logistics, fallout management, and preventative measures, as well as the underlying principle that maintaining the status quo can lead to vulnerability in todays dynamic security environment. This presentation is an expansion of a September/October 2008 EDUCAUSE Review article.
