What is an incident?
A cybersecurity incident is an event that poses a threat to the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of information systems and data that the university system processes, stores, or transmits. Incidents may also violate security policies, procedures, or acceptable use policies.
Always report the following:
- Compromised college accounts or devices
- Theft of a college computer
- If you contact a local police department, please let us know and provide the case number and contact information. Providing a serial number and other unique identifiers when you report to the police can be crucial for investigations.
- Ransomware
- Sensitive data that was exposed to parties who should not have access
Actions to take:
- Suspected compromised accounts should have their password changed
- Contact the Information Security team the moment you have an incident
- Leave the machine powered on but disconnected from the network (wired, wireless, or virtual connections), and do not use it
