Incident Response

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
