CIBER Offers Information Technology Security Webinar for College and University Administrators

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. - Nov. 27, 2007 - College and university administrators are invited to attend a webinar hosted by the Higher Education Practice of CIBER Enterprise Solutions, a division of CIBER, Inc. (NYSE: CBR). The webinar is free and will discuss the unique challenges of ensuring the security of information technology (IT) data, systems and transactions within higher education institutions. The one-hour webinar will be held at noon Eastern Time on Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2007. To attend, please register at www.ciber.com/webinar/HEsecurity.

The webinar features Ed Bassett, Vice President of CIBER's Global Security Practice, who will discuss the frequent yet unfortunate tendency of organizations to approach IT security reactively, relying on technical "silver bullets" and personal heroism to address security breaches. For instance, earlier this year, a state board of regents discovered that critical sensitive data-names, addresses, birthdates, and Social Security numbers-related to 80,000 students and faculty members at higher education institutions within the state had been unintentionally posted on the Internet, and had remained publicly accessible for more than two years. It is unclear whether anyone with criminal intent has used the data to steal identities, open financial accounts, and create credit nightmares for those whose data was posted. In addition to the potential losses suffered by individuals, such security failures also have the potential to jeopardize an institution's federal funding under the terms of the Buckley Amendment.

Bassett will describe how to cost-effectively transform security programs and processes into proactive and operationally mature systems that address problems at their root causes. He will also discuss components of an effective security program, and how to manage the effects of security on an organization's IT budget.

With more than 20 years experience as an information systems security architect, Bassett has served as principal advisor to Fortune 500 and government clients on information systems security. He was the lead security architect for several large-scale, high-value e-commerce and e-government systems, aerospace systems, sea systems, defense systems, and IT infrastructure projects. He designed security for the IRS's Electronic Federal Tax Payment System, the first IRS payment system approved for connection to the Internet, and which processes nearly $2 trillion worth of transactions each year. And his work is used worldwide-he has designed IT security systems which have been used on all seven continents, including Antarctica. Mr. Bassett is a sought-after speaker on effective security techniques at security symposiums, conferences, and CIO forums.

CIBER's Higher Education Practice is a leader in the U.S. and Canadian higher education ERP markets, providing implementation and upgrade services, and strategic and security consulting services to more than 175 institutions in the U.S. and Canada. CIBER has also assisted higher education clients in Mexico and the United Kingdom.

Earlier this year, the Brown-Wilson Group named CIBER the top IT outsourcing provider for the higher education industry, ranked CIBER the eighth best global IT outsourcing provider, and the 12th best overall outsourcing provider of more than 4,000 firms worldwide. The Brown-Wilson Group annually surveys CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, and other business decision-makers at Fortune 2000 organizations to understand users' experience with global outsourcing service providers.
