In our connected environment, security is tremendously important element of any system. Institutions large and small have been targets of attack and libraries are a significant vector of approach for some institutions, because of their bias toward access and sharing of resources. In addition to personal information about patrons, library systems contain a variety of valuable information and provide gateways to numerous other resources. All of these realities require information specialists to be aware of potential risks and how to address them.
This two-part webinar program will focus on what best practice activities libraries should be implementing to ensure that their services are protected and secure. Part one of this webinar will be focused on management of internal systems and methods of securing library systems and the data that they hold.
The second session of this program will be focused on the issue of privacy and methods for protecting content from unauthorized distribution, including digital rights management systems, social DRM, and other approaches to preventing piracy.
