EDUCAUSE has recently been asked by the Critical Infrastructure Assurance Office (CIAO) of the federal government to coordinate the contributions of the higher education community to the National Strategy to Secure Cyberspace. This report, scheduled to be delivered from the Critical Infrastructure Protection Board to the President of the United States this summer, will examine the following: government's role, private sector contributions, whether or not legislation is needed, and the impact of improved security education. The activities in this proposal will make a direct contribution toward this important national effort.The research and education community faces a pressing need for effective and efficientstrategies for securing its networked computers. The security of college and universitycomputer systems has become a matter of critical importance for higher education and the greater Internet community. In one well-known example, vulnerable systems on campus networks have been implicated as unknowing participants in a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack on critical government and commercial Internet sites. College and university computer systems have also been the target of attacks, exposing confidential medical and student records. A comprehensive and systematic cybersecurity strategy is needed in the higher education community, including an executive-level appreciation for the critical importance of this problem.There is a need for a coordinated approach on two fronts: (1) the examination andidentification of best practices regarding available technologies, policies, and procedures to support secure operations, and (2) publications, presentations, and other communication methods to disseminate these best practices throughout the research andeducation community.To accomplish these tasks, EDUCAUSE will bring together the leading experts in bothtechnology and higher education business practices and policies to develop the bestpractical approach to solving these problems in the higher education community. EDUCAUSE will distribute the best practices though extensive national and regional meetings,publications for IT staff as well as higher education executives, web libraries, and through partner organizations such as the American Council on Education (ACE), theNational Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO), and theNational Association of College and University Attorneys (NACUA). This proposed effort will build on previous work by the EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Security Taskforce, member institutions, SANS, and CERT and would seek to incorporate the best efforts of the federal government and private industry.

最近，联邦政府的关键基础设施保证办公室（CIAO）询问了教育，以协调高等教育社区对确保网络空间的国家战略的贡献。该报告计划于今年夏天从关键的基础设施保护委员会交付给美国总统，将研究以下内容：政府的角色，私营部门的贡献，是否需要立法以及改善安全教育的影响。该提案中的活动将为这一重要的国家努力做出直接贡献。研究和教育社区面临着对确保其网络计算机的有效和有效战略的迫切需求。大学和大学计算机系统的安全已成为高等教育和更大的互联网社区至关重要的问题。在一个众所周知的例子中，校园网络上的脆弱系统被认为是对关键政府和商业互联网站点的分布式拒绝服务（DDOS）攻击。大学和大学计算机系统也一直是攻击的目标，暴露了机密的医学和学生记录。 A comprehensive and systematic cybersecurity strategy is needed in the higher education community, including an executive-level appreciation for the critical importance of this problem.There is a need for a coordinated approach on two fronts: (1) the examination andidentification of best practices regarding available technologies, policies, and procedures to support secure operations, and (2) publications, presentations, and other communication methods to disseminate these best practices throughout the research andeducation community.To完成这些任务，教育将汇集技术和高等教育业务实践和政策的领先专家，以开发最佳实践方法来解决高等教育社区中的这些问题。 Educause将通过广泛的国家和地区会议，IT员工的出版物以及高等教育主管，网络图书馆以及通过合作伙伴组织（例如美国教育委员会（ACE），当时的大学和大学商业官员协会（NACUBO）以及当时的大学和大学院长协会（NACUA）等合作伙伴组织，分发了最佳实践。这项拟议的努力将基于教育/Internet2安全工作组，成员机构，SANS和CERT的先前工作，并将试图纳入联邦政府和私营企业的最大努力。
