The Office of Information Security (InfoSec) offers the college community a resource to assist in securing the rich and expansive data the college manages. Through training, community outreach, and continuous awareness, InfoSec strives to strengthen and secure not only our processes, procedures, and technology resources, but also the most vulnerable aspect of our security posture - people.
