Security Incident Response

Page Content

 

Service Description

In case of an information security incident that threatens the availability, confidentiality and integrity of University information assets, information systems and the networks that deliver the information, a security incident response will follow in order to promptly restore operations impacted by the incident.

 

Services Offered

Such incidents may include the access to sensitive or confidential data, intellectual property, damage to public image and/or damage to critical internal systems.

When a security incident occurs, the Southern Miss Technology Audit and Security Team will alert the appropriate personnel to a potential or real threat.

The incident is examined for authenticity and severity.

Evidence is gathered to determine cause and vulnerability.

Systems are recovered, lessons learned are documented and maintenance can resume.

It also will apply to any computing device regardless of ownership, which is used to store restricted/confidential university data, or which, if lost, stolen or compromised, could lead to the unauthorized disclosure of confidential university data.
