You really can't blame them much, they had backups. University doesn't work like corporate, you have thousands of student who change every year, do their projects for which they require lot of access; you can't lock everything dangerous, can't have any sensible BYOD policy, ... It's really hard to lock up everything while not limiting students too much. With organization like this, that sort of incidents is unfortunate but inevitable.
- _wldu 6y agoWe sometimes refer to a public university as having a museum-like security posture. They have to be open to the general public, have to allow in visitors, yet guard things at the same time. It's not at all like strict corporate IT security. It's a fine line to walk. If you've never done this sort of security work before, it can seem odd and foreign for awhile.
- tomashertus 6y agoPublic universities and their security budget are highly underfunded. They can’t afford to invest heavily into security.
- Scramblejams 6y agoIs it that they can't afford it? Or is it instead that they would need to reprioritize some of their spending to invest into security?
