PROTECHTION

SU programs lead the way in cybersecurity education By Rob Romano staff writer

E

very day Syracuse University’s data is under attack. Sometimes it’s “door rattling,” or hackers poking at SU’s network trying to find vulnerabilities in the system. Other times it’s phishing, when fake emails appear to be from SU but aren’t. Though the information is constantly attacked, it is protected. Information security officer Chris Croad and his

four-person team of students are at the front lines, protecting the university’s information. SU isn’t just trying to protect itself from cyberattacks; it’s also training students in the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science in cybersecurity so they can protect others beyond the university in the future. As personal information continues to go online, the field of cybersecurity is growing. SU is taking that trend a step further, incorporating cybersecurity into its curriculum and campus. see cybersecurity page 8

Committee seeks community input for Fast Forward plan By Justin Mattingly asst. news editor

The Fast Forward Syracuse Strategic Plan Steering Committee is now asking for input from the Syracuse University community in the forming of a strategic plan, the committee announced in an email to the SU community on Tuesday afternoon. The committee will ask for input on

a draft vision and mission statements, conduct a brainstorming exercise, host an open forum and solicit individual input, according to the email. “We emphasize that the strategic plan will be prioritizing the University as a whole — rather than focusing on the specific schools, colleges, departments and support groups — and it will serve as a vehicle by which the University ultimately can be greater than the

sum of its parts,” the email said. The vision and mission statements will be changed based upon the input from the SU community before being submitted to Chancellor Kent Syverud and the Board of Trustees at their November meeting, according to the email. As part of the brainstorming exercise, the Strategic Planning Committee is asking SU groups, such as

schools and colleges, to develop three to five concepts to be submitted to the committee for review and consideration for inclusion into the strategic plan, according to the email. In addition, two open forums will be held to provide input. The first open forum will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 30 from 4-5:30 p.m. in the Maxwell Auditorium. The second will take place on Monday, Oct. 6 from 11:30

a.m.-1 p.m. in 010 Crouse-Hinds Hall. According to the email, the Strategic Plan Steering Committee will “entertain requests by topic groups to hear and discuss ideas on a particular focus area.” Individuals will also be able to provide anonymous individual input on the Fast Forward website through the end of October. jmatting@syr.edu
