Security
IS&T's Information Security Department advises the campus on how to ensure the integrity, confidentiality and availability of vital information technology resources and information. This department assists university departments in adhering to the Security Policy. Compliance serves both the needs of the individual and the university as a whole; keeping your personal computer secure protects it from outside intrusions, which, in turn, minimizes attacks on the university network.
To engage IS&T, contact the Help Center at 404-413-HELP (4357) or e-mail help@gsu.edu.
