What data security practices should every faculty member adopt?
In this day and age we are all more conscious of the need for information security. There are several policy statements that every faculty member should read and understand: • Guidelines for Data Security (http://its.binghamton.edu/policies/data-security-guidelines) • Information Security Policy and Procedure (http://its.binghamton.edu/policies/information-security) • Privacy Policy (http://its.binghamton.edu/policies/privacy) A quick rule of thumb should be to refrain from maintaining sensitive data on office/lab desktop computers, personal laptops or portable storage media. It is all too easy to mistakenly share, lose, or have such information stolen.
