Thats very very cool!
Not sure if you have heard, but LSU has taken a pretty innovative step toward mitigating the impact of a data breach on its campus. We have purchased a full site license to provide all of the LSU faculty, staff, and students with free credit monitoring through Equifax. While we realize this isn’t some panacea to prevent a breach or an identity theft, it does empower our community members so that “when” a breach occurs (and it really is a given – we’ve been very lucky so far), they are already prepared. Feel free to check out our program: creditmonitor.lsu.edu, and I’d be interested in any feedback. Thanks.
