13. Message to Presidents (Feb 2003) Set the tone: ensure that all campus stakeholders know that you take Cybersecurity seriously. Insist on community-wide awareness and accountability. Establish responsibility for campus-wide Cybersecurity at the cabinet level. At a large university, this responsibility might be assigned to the Chief Information Officer. At a small college, this person may have responsibility for many areas, including the institutional computing environment. Ask for a periodic Cybersecurity risk assessment that identifies the most important risks to your institution. Manage these risks in the context of institutional planning and budgeting. Request updates to your Cybersecurity plans on a regular basis in response to the rapid evolution of the technologies, vulnerabilities, threats, and risks. David Ward President, American Council on Education
