Communication and Operations Management
System Communications Protection
System communications protection refers to the key elements used to assure data and systems are available, and exhibit the confidentiality and integrity expected by owners and users to conduct their business. The appropriate level of security applied to the information and systems is based on the classification and criticality of the information and the business processes that use it. The System's integrity controls must protect data against improper alteration or destruction during storage, during processing, and during transmission over electronic communication networks.
Operations Management
Operations management refers to implementing appropriate controls and protections on hardware, software, and resources; maintaining appropriate auditing and monitoring; and evaluating system threats and vulnerabilities.
Proper operations management safeguards all of the University's computing resources from loss or compromise, including main storage, storage media (e.g., tape, disk, and optical devices), communications software and hardware, processing equipment, standalone computers, and printers.
