Ced Bennett offers a dynamic combination of strategic leadership,
large-scale change management skills, and depth of technical expertise
as an information security consultant to higher education. In his
role as Director, Information Security Services for Stanford University,
Ced led a department tasked with building awareness and driving
change in individual and organizational behavior with regard to
increasing institutional information security. He led the team that
was responsible for information security policy development and
implementation and for moving the institution toward more effectively
securing its information resources. As a well respected source of
technical leadership, Ced is considered an evolutionist in the field
of information security. He maintains this edge by continuing to
seamlessly integrate emerging technologies with future client needs.
Ced has been a part of information technology senior management
in higher education for more than thirty years. During that time
he has been responsible for the leadership of a variety of information
technology organizations including the development and support of
administrative systems, the initial deployment and support of desktop
and distributed computing, the development and support of library
computing, and many others. Prior to joining Stanford, he held information
technology leadership positions in the private sector for the electronics,
wholesale/retail, health care, and IT services industries.
Ced is currently a member of the EDUCAUSE/Internet2 Computer
and Network Security Task Force. A frequent speaker at professional
conferences and seminars, Ced served as a founding faculty member
from 1998 to 2001 in the CAUDIT-EDUCAUSE Institute held in Australia
each year. He was instrumental in the creation of the CAUSE Management
Institute (now the Leadership and Management Programs of the EDUCAUSE
Institute) in 1990, in its direction through 1995 and as a faculty
member through 1997. Ced was a member of the CAUSE Board of Directors
from 1985 through 1989 serving as Chairman of the Board in 1987.
He holds a BA in philosophy from San Francisco State University
and has completed graduate work in philosophy, cybernetic systems
and business. |
