This area deals with security considerations for the campus network. A template for a security policy is proposed based on core principles as defined in ISO/IEC 27002. An ICT security architecture for higher education is recommended. Traffic filtering technologies are discussed and general applications are recommended. Adoption of digital certificates in a public key infrastructure (PKI) is covered.

An integral part of the IT governance is information security, in particular, security pertaining to personal information. However, many organisations do not have a clear policy for information security management.
