The security of information and the hardware used to manage it is of the utmost importance to the College. Faculty, Staff, Students, Guests, Contractors, Vendors - all have a part to play in safeguarding our data and computer network. The Office of IT Security's primary goals are to:

• effectively manage the risk of IT security exposure or compromise within College systems;

• communicate within the College community the responsibilities for the protection of College information;

• compliance with the statutes and policies protecting the rights of individuals.

• the consistent maintenance of data integrity and accuracy.

• assurance that authorized individuals have timely and reliable access to necessary data.

• the denial (with reasonable assurance) of unauthorized individuals' access to computing resources or other means to retrieve, modify or transfer data.

Information security is everyone's responsibility.
