To assist the Division of Information Technology in achieving its vision, Information Security MUST be considered by each and every member of the University community. So, what is Information Security? Information security can be defined as the protection of information and the systems and hardware that use, store, and transmit that information. Unfortunately, this pursuit is not a completely achievable pursuit. However, there are three objectives that will assist the University in achieving the best results for the effort expended, which are to minimize the loss of:

• Confidentiality – preventing the intentional or unintentional unauthorized disclosure of data.
• Integrity – ensuring no modifications to data by unauthorized personnel or processes, and ensuring internal and external data are consistent and accurate.
• Availability – ensuring the reliable and timely access to data or computing resources by appropriate personnel.
