So i just got a job at a university as a security analyst. I have my C|EH, CISSP, and Security+. Does anyone have any tips on learning about higher education IT Security? Books, articles, certs? Anything will help. I want to do well at my new job and show up over prepared to hit the ground running.

First off, congrats on the new role! It sounds like a great opportunity! Will the school help pay for your training/certs?

Nice work, CEH and CISSP is a winning combo.

At my company, if you want to get in as a security analyst you MUST possess the CISSP and/or CEH. No and if's buts!

Anyway rant off, well done!

Honestly, I think it might depend on which school (and their academic focus)... I would imagine that school's with reputations in the computer sciences, and security in particular, would be more understanding of having rigorous security controls and good network hygiene.
