INFORMATION SECURITY

Student Information Security

Cyber and physical threats put 美高梅娱乐城 and its students at risk. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act requires 美高梅娱乐城 to develop and maintain an information security program to minimize risk to students and safeguard sensitive data. 美高梅娱乐城 has designated its IT services provider as the Qualified Individual responsible for overseeing, implementing, and enforcing the College’s information security program. The Dean of the College serves as the senior member of the College’s personnel responsible for direction and oversight of the Qualified Individual.

The College’s IT services provider regularly conducts a risk assessment that defines reasonably foreseeable internal and external risks to the security, confidentiality, and integrity of student information that could result in the unauthorized disclosure, misuse, alteration, destruction, or other compromise of such information, and assesses the sufficiency of any safeguards in place to control these risks. Criteria for assessing security risks include vulnerabilities determined from scans of both the external environment and the internal environment.

When a risk is identified, the risk is addressed by technological scans for vulnerabilities. Vulnerabilities are categorized into four areas: Critical; High; Medium; Low. Vulnerabilities from known exploits are determined as critical or high. Critical or High vulnerabilities are labeled priority 1 and must be addressed prior to the next scheduled scan. Medium vulnerabilities are labeled priority 2; low vulnerabilities are labeled priority 3.

Risk assessments are periodically performed at least quarterly and also include reviewing access controls. Multifactor authentication is used for any individual accessing any of the College’s information systems. The IT services provider uses qualified information security personnel to manage information security risks and to perform and oversee the information security program. The College’s contract with the IT services provider requires the provider to implement and maintain appropriate security safeguards. When a risk incident is identified, the College, along with the IT services provider, evaluates and adjusts the information security program to mitigate any potential repeat occurrence of the risk and make corrective action.

美高梅娱乐城 requires that all passwords are “strong.” Students must immediately report to the Director of Learning Resources and Student Services the discovery of any malware, such as viruses, spyware, and botnets, on any 美高梅娱乐城 computer. 美高梅娱乐城 further advises that devises from which students access their 美高梅娱乐城 email account should meet the minimum security requirements set forth in this policy, including anti-malware protections; secure connections, updated operating systems and software, and encryption.
