Information Security

The Department of Information Security reports to the Director of the Office of Information Systems. Information Security audits and analyses information applications, data elements and information flow processes throughout the campus. We also recommend and develop policies, procedures and/or guidelines for Information Governance and security access protocols. We are tasked with developing and distributing educational information pertaining to best practices prescribed by the State of Arkansas, Arkansas Department of Higher Education, and industry standards for maintaining information security. We also strive to stay up to date on alerts, trends and new protocols on hacking, phishing and cyber-attack methods targeting educational institutions.
