,----[ Quote ]
| After a string of security breaches at universities, identity theft

| School CIO, two experts offer tips on protecting schools from identity
| theft.

| Larry Wong, information technology security officer for the
| 140,000-student Montgomery County Public Schools in Rockville, Md.,
| and Matthew Kinzie, director of information technology for the
| Stanislaus County Office of Education in Modesto, Calif., which
| supports 24 districts with a total of 70,000 students, give advice
| on how to deal with id thefts.

| The obvious precautions are to make sure operating system patches,
| firewalls, anti-virus software, and filters are in place and up-to-date.
