Information Security UIS Launches Security Awareness Education Campaign, "Be Informed, Be Aware, Be Responsible About Information Security" UIS will be visiting all academic and administrative departments on campus to educate employees about the importance of securing student and employee confidential data created and used during the normal course of operation. The purpose of our visit will be to answer questions about the information presented on this web site which serves as a prerequisite for identifying what information qualifies as confidential, protected information at SSU. Secondly, we will ask departments and their employees to engage in efforts to identify where confidential data resides on individual computers. We will then work with each department to define an action plan that will specify where protected data should be electronically stored and secured.About Information Security: The Information Security pages contain information regarding information security, identity theft, and tips on how to protect your personal data as well as the data you may need access to as a part of your job.
