  • Define security requirements, establish baselines and measure compliance, based on applicable laws, regulations, and best practices.
  • Consult with campus users and departments to investigate security issues and evaluate products and processess.
  • Collaborate with Information Resources administrators and technical staff to develop the campus information security strategy and architecture.

  • Respond to and recover from disruptive and destructive information security events.
  • Increase campus awareness of information security through training and communication.
