Higher Education Information Security Council 2012–2013 Strategic Plan

The HEISC mission is to improve information security, data protection, and privacy programs across the higher education sector through its working groups of volunteers and professional EDUCAUSE staff that coordinate activities and collaborate with partners from government, industry, and other academic organizations. Through the annual Security Professionals Conference and other EDUCAUSE conferences and websites, HEISC actively develops and promotes leadership; awareness and understanding; effective practices and policies; and solutions for the protection of critical data, IT assets, and infrastructures. This strategic plan is intended to set forth a vision for the higher education information security community and provide a concise roadmap to guide the efforts of the HEISC in 2012 and 2013.
