Most Campuses Report Security Breaches

John Moore writes on FCW.com:

The majority of higher education managers experienced at least one information technology security incident last year and one-third reported a data loss or theft.

Those are among the findings of the second annual Higher Education IT Security Report Card, which CDW-Government released this week. The report is based on a survey of 182 higher education IT directors and managers nationwide.

Fifty-eight percent of those respondents reported at least one security incident last year. In addition to the 33 percent reporting data loss or theft, 9 percent of the IT managers encountered data loss or theft of student personal information.
