The University is developing an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for its information services as part of a series of actions to reduce cyber security risk. Cyber crime is a persistent and ever-changing threat to the University and its people. Defining how IT services should be used appropriately is a significant step in protecting staff, students and the institution from harm.
The AUP will set out how everyone who is authorised to use the University’s information services – including University and College staff, students, certain visitors and contractors – can help prevent security-related incidents and avoid harmful activities.
These focus groups form part of a wider consultation on the draft policy.
More information about the development of information security policies can be found on the UIS website.
