		28th Annual Computer Services Mangement Symposium (CSMS 2001) March 18 - 20, 2001 Program Notes
		Parallel Session III Monday, March 19, 2001 Directories, PKI, Authentication, Certificates, etc. Facilitator: Jim Kerlin, Pennsylvania State University How are campuses planning for a solid and secure Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)? Or are they planning at all? What is the current state of this area on our campuses? How much should we worry about this and how fast should we implement a PKI at our institutions? Are there some solid and proven approaches to getting this done? Can parts of the development of a PKI be outsourced in any way?
		Session Notes The topic strayed to more general security issues and risk analysis and risk management. The more Bill Sanders explained the process of risk analysis used as Virginia Tech, the more the discussion followed that path. For more information about protective software, business recovery plan, risk analysis, and backup services see Virginia Tech's "Play it Safe" Web page.
