Created by Valerie M. Vogel (EDUCAUSE) on July 1, 2009

The Career of the IT Security Officer in Higher Education reports the result of a study designed to understand and document the attributes and responsibilities of the relatively new role of information security officer in higher education. The study employed multiple research strategies, including a literature review, an analysis of 59 job announcements and descriptions, 311 responses to a web-based quantitative survey, and qualitative interviews with individuals who answered the survey and agreed to be contacted for additional information. As a result of broad interest in this topic, the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research (ECAR) is delighted to make this research available online to everyone now.
