Security Task Force Announcements and Privacy

The EDUCAUSE/Internet Security Task Force provided a briefing to the CSIS Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency on March 12, 2008, during the event "Improving Cybersecurity: Recommendations from Private Sector Experts". A 1-page summary of the briefing is available, as well as the complete transcript.

Designed for college and university attorneys and administrators with responsibility for information technology, the NACUA Fall Workshop 2007 covers legal issues that arise at the intersection of computers and  internet with legal obligations relating to privacy, security, and intellectual property. The program begins with a session covering recent developments in digital copyright and trademark law, and includes separate tracks on copyright and intellectual property issues as well as contracting  and information technology law. Please join your colleagues November 7-9, 2007, in Washington, DC, for this opportunity for professional education, networking, and discussion.

This workshop is presented by NACUA in cooperation with EDUCAUSE.
