Program

This year's conference, "Safeguarding Our IT Assets, Protecting Our Community's Privacy," will focus on privacy and security topics that cut across the information assurance measures of people, process, and technology. Our past focus on reducing institutional risk by protecting IT assets has expanded to include the pressing issues of protecting the privacy of institutional information and that of institution's stakeholders (e.g., alumni, donors, and guests). The Security Professionals Conference provides an excellent forum for members of the community to exchange information and receive additional training or professional development to help improve IT security and effectively address privacy issues at their home institutions.

The EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Computer and Network Security Task Force (STF), the sponsors of the annual Security Professional Conference, provides a focal point for the academic community to join together in venues like the conference to strengthen the ability of the higher education sector to respond to growing threats to information security and to protect the privacy of our community members. The goals and strategies of the STF are intended to help direct assistance from and to the community in ways that are both cost-effective and timely. The STF welcomes your participation at this year's conference.
