All University System of Georgia (USG) institutions, including the University System Office (USO), the Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS), and the Georgia Archives, are required to maintain a Computer Security Incident Response (CSIR) plan. This plan outlines how to respond to and manage any adverse activity that could disrupt teaching, research, or operations.
The CSIR plan must:
- Follow USG policies and standards, industry best practices, and ISO and NIST guidelines
- Be filed with USG Information Security & ePrivacy as required by Section 5.10 of the IT Handbook
At ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥, the Office of Information Security responds to all reports of abuse or suspected compromise involving University IT resources. An IT incident includes any activity that:
- Violates laws, regulations, or University policies
- Constitutes harassment or misuse of resources
- Compromises University data or disrupts services
