9 Security and privacy:
Safeguarding IU’s tech landscape
Two teams of cybersecurity experts are actively working right now to protect the IU community. The University Information Policy Office (UIPO) and University Information Security Office (UISO) together help create a resilient and secure IT environment that protects information resources—without impeding their widespread and appropriate use.
The security team provides security analysis, development, education, and guidance related to IU’s information assets and information technology environment. The policy team develops, disseminates, reviews, interprets,
and provides education on policies about information and IT.
They work together in responding to and investigating incidents related to misuse or abuse of IU’s information technology resources, including computer and network security breaches and unauthorized disclosure or modification of electronic institutional or personal information.
The security and policy offices also develop guidelines, best practices, and educational materials about the use and protection of computing resources and the handling of sensitive institutional data.
