As part of the University of Missouri System, we've been providing network connectivity to about 800 small educational networks (ranging from K-12 school districts to community colleges, as well as mentoring/supporting development of security event response capabilities at those and larger Missouri educational networks. We've provided training topics and conference sessions for these small networks including basic event response. We have no funds for travel to EDUCAUSE Security, but I'm interested in contributing...

ICI is composed of mostly smaller institutions in the state. I'd like to encourage the members of the security mailing list list to forward Rodney's note to other similar consortia that you may be aware of.... Gordon At 06:15 PM 1/19/2004 -0700, you wrote:
The Security Task Force continues to be interested in the security needs and challenges of small colleges and universities. A recent report by the EDUCAUSE Center for Applied Research attempted to distinguish security issues between size and type of institutions. Not
surprisingly, a major finding was more security staffing and funding available to larger enterprises, especially doctoral research universities. On the other hand, smaller institutions were more likely
to deploy border firewalls and in some cases had better policies, practices, and security programs in place because of standardized and centralized environments. We are holding discussion sessions at all of
the EDUCAUSE Regional Conferences (<http://www.educause.edu/conference/>http://www.educause.edu/conferenc e/) this coming Winter and Spring to better understand security issues that confront smaller institutions. I would welcome learning more about the security challenges and successes of small colleges and universities. I am especially interested in "effective practices and solutions" for small college environments and learning more about smaller institutions that have successful security programs. I would be especially grateful if you would be willing to share your "lessons learned" with others. Please feel free to describe your experiences for the benefit of this list or contact me directly if you have any feedback or are willing to participate in ongoing Security Task Force initiatives.
