Abstract:This session will provide an update of recent EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Security Task Force initiatives with vendors, including collaborations with ERP vendors to address application and integration security and plans to assist higher education with a successful migration to Microsoft Vista, which represents a major change in the core operating system from Windows XP. The task force has developed an ERP security checklist and, in conjunction with the Microsoft Higher Education Advisory Group (MS-HEAG), has been working to identify effective ways to provide information, particularly regarding security issues related to the deployment of Vista in higher education.
