In this new role, Drake will have a dual reporting relationship to both Chief Information Security Officer in Enterprise Security Helen Patton and Gates Garrity-Rokous, Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer for the Office of University Compliance and Integrity.

The latest edition of the Enterprise Project Digest was shared with the Ohio State community to provide updates about the project’s work. Check out the EP Digest archive to read the full October issue. Highlights of this issue:

(1) Ohio State demonstrated its leadership in business and technology transformation by leading several presentations during the annual Workday Rising conference; (2) A Town Hall meeting held on October 10 for the university’s Human Resources (HR) community focused on how Ohio State will transform its HR service delivery model to improve the employee experience. Provost and Executive Vice President Bruce McPheron gave opening remarks; and (3) The project team has connected with each college and unit to understand the local technology systems currently in use throughout the university. This outreach has informed the "system disposition" process. The list of known systems and disposition outcomes was updated this month.

You may have noticed that BuckeyePass, powered by Duo, is being added to more and more Ohio State systems beyond Buckeye Link and BuckeyeBox. Starting September 30, it will be protecting eTimesheet and eLeave, and beginning October 11, that same protection will be added to Carmen and Vita. (The full list of systems behind BuckeyePass can be found at the BuckeyePass site.)

These are meeting notes from the OCIO Leadership Meeting held on September 10, 2018.

Ohio State is expanding its use of multi-factor authentication in order to increase the level of protection that prevents unauthorized individuals from accessing your information. Adding BuckeyePass to the login process for the Carmen learning management system not only reduces the risk of credential theft—it also helps address academic misconduct.
