Development, adoption, deployment, and compliance monitoring of an IT Security Governance Industry Standard such as ISO 17799. Concurrent with this -- Enterprise ITSEC Strategy (ITSEC is a risk management issue not a technical one!), enabling programs, federated compliance monitoring tools, and performance metrics. Suggested approach includes: 1. Articulate and approve an overall security strategy. 2. Develop a security technical architecture to support the strategy. 3. Establish needed policies to support the strategy and architecture. 4. Acquire additional tools to support the architecture. 5. Establish an organizational structure to deploy the tools and monitor policy adherence. 6. Establish a management reporting mechanism to inform unit and executive management about unit adherence to the strategy and policies as well as to compromised systems. 7. Prioritize activities into implementation phases. 8. Communicate the overall security program to the campus community. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Security Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU] On Behalf Of Kathy Bergsma Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 2:22 PM To: SECURITY () LISTSERV EDUCAUSE EDU Subject: [SECURITY] success stories I'm interested in hearing about your success stories engaging senior management support for security initiatives.
