Priorities

The ISO's approach to security is more proactive than reactive, although we give priority response to incidents that have institution-level impact or that require university-wide coordination.

Our current focus is securing systems that affect a majority of the university, including central administrative systems and the campus data network. The ISO gives special priority to systems containing data classified as Sensitive Information as defined in the Information Security Policy. 

We also continue to focus on:

  • Risk and vulnerability assessment,
  • Use of automated tools to help detect and respond against known threats,
  • Practice employee awareness training, 
  • and refresh governance policies to keep current with trends.

If you become aware of a Cyber or Information security issue regarding Weber's computers or networking resources, contact your assigned Data Security Stewart (DSS) or Information Security Office (ISO). The IT Service Desk can help you if you need to secure or repair your computer.

If you become aware of a physical crime or need law enforcement services, please contact Weber State Police Department (WSPD).
