Tools and Services
To help departments and individuals reduce the risk of an information security
breach, OCIS offers a variety of tools and services to campus. Our philosophy
is…
- Find it! Many people are surprised by what kinds of
restricted data they had forgotten is stored on their computer: old credit
card transactions, social security numbers on employment forms, research data,
and more. OCIS has tools to scan your machines to find out where this data may
reside.
- Delete it! If you don’t really need it, we recommend you delete restricted data, thereby
reducing the likelihood that theft, human error or other kinds of malfeasance
give hackers access to it. OCIS has data sanitization tools to help you do just
that.
- Protect it!If you absolutely must keep restricted data
on your machines, OCIS has a wide range of mitigation controls (i.e., tools and
services such as disk encryption, vulnerability scanning, certificates, VPN) to
help you protect it.
