Information Insecurity

Abstract

In April 2009, a counselor at Kapiolani Community College called computer systems support and reported computer problems. The computer was infected with over 5,000 viruses and sensitive information may have been compromised. This necessitated a major effort to notify the public and a laborious examination of information security on campus. Lama Library is examining its security practices and procedures to comply with University, State, and Federal standards. We will be sharing what we have learned about information security breaches and will discuss how all institutions can establish policies and procedures to protect their employees and the public.
