Categories of Data Criteria: Use these criteria to determine which data category is appropriate for a particular information or infrastructure system. A positive response to the highest category in any row is sufficient to place that system into that Category. Category A (highest, most sensitive) Category B (moderate level of sensitivity) Category C (very low, but still some sensitivity) Legal requirements Protection of data is required by law (see attached list for specific HIPAA and FERPA data elements) Stanford has a contractual obligation to protect the data Reputation risk High MediumLow Other Institutional Risks Information which provides access to resources, physical or virtual Smaller subsets of Category A data from a school, large part of a school, department Data about very few people or other sensitive data assets Examples  Medical  Students  Prospective Students  Personnel  Donor or prospect  Financial  Contracts  Physical plant detail  Credit Card numbers  Certain management information  Information resources with access to Category-A data  Research detail or results that are not Category-A  Library transactions (e.g., catalog, circulation, acquisitions)  Financial transactions which do not include Category-A data (e.g., telephone billing)  Very small subsets of Category A data Improve Administrative Systems Security

Firewall Architecture (c onceptual) Improve Administrative Systems Security

Legislation: Support Issues  FERPA  Protect private student information  HIPAA  Protect personal health information (PHI)  GLBA  Protect “banking” transaction information  SEVIS  Provide foreign student information  DMCA  Protect copyrighted information  California Law  May not use SSN as identifier  Must disclose compromise of private information Improve Administrative Systems Security

SUNet Security  Filter high-risk traffic at the border  Support distributed firewalls  Vaden  Controller’s Office  Sample all five Internet feeds  2.2 Gb/sec  Maintaining 5GB day logs x 8 weeks for forensic purposes  Previously sampling only two feeds  Constraining traffic to 200Mb/sec Improve Overall SUNet Security

SUNet Security, cont.  Scan Entire Network  Looking for vulnerabilities only  Started in residences with ResComp  Of 4,000 machines, found 300 vulnerable  All 300 repaired before break-ins  Continuing to re-scan periodically  Scanning all other network segments  Working with local support groups Improve Overall SUNet Security

Significant Security Payoff Improve Overall SUNet Security
