Computer Security Incident
What is a Security Incident?
A security incident is any attempted or actual unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction of information. This includes interference with information technology operation and violation of district policy, laws or regulations.
Examples of security incidents include:
- Computer system breach
- Unauthorized access to, or use of, systems, software, or data
- Unauthorized changes to systems, software, or data
- Loss or theft of equipment storing institutional data
- Denial of service attack
- Interference with the intended use of IT resources
- Compromised user accounts
It is important that actual or suspected security incidents are reported as early as possible so that the district can limit the damage and cost of recovery. Include specific details regarding the system breach, vulnerability, or compromise of your computer and we will respond with a plan for further containment and mitigation.
