Abstract
Current technology is putting information and computing into everyone's hands. Even elementary school students are getting access to the Internet and surfing the net as soon as they develop reading skills. But can or should everything be available to everyone? Of course, the answer is "no." Can it be secured in the current environment? That depends on your definition of "secured." This paper looks at the information and services higher education institutions typically deal with and identifies the risks and exposures the current computing environment presents.
