Security of Information Technology ResourcesEvery user responsible for security of devices

connected to the network

Five Categories of Users/Obligations

IT Director: coordinate security program

Unit Heads: oversee (for their unit)

Security Liaisons: effectuate (unit risk assessment)

Local Support Provider: implement (desktop)

User: know who you are and don’t share password!

Responsible Use of IT Resources

Every user must manage the data on their IT devices

Five Categories of Users/Obligations

IT Data Director: coordinate

Stewards: oversee (policy)

Data Liaisons: effectuate (inventory/flows)

Custodians: implement (secure that web page!)

Users: know who you are (and don’t infringe copyright!)

Conclusion

Protection, preservation and appropriate use of institutional IT assets and interests requires comprehensive

information data and security programs.

That an institution have such programs is a given; how they are constructed goes to the history, culture and tradition of the

institution.
