Information for Technical Staff
Technical staff play an important role in protecting sensitive digital research data. The Information Security Office has tools and services that can help you support the researchers in your area implement the security practices that are essential on our campus.
Familiarize yourself with the IT Security Operations Manual. This document outlines requirements for many aspects of security systems. The Security Operations Manual also includes many supporting documents that provide specific details.
To see specific requirements and recommendations for systems storing Category-I, -II, and -III data, please see the Minimum Security Standards for Systems.
The Server Hardening Checklists provide specific steps you should take to secure your servers. They reference the requirement in the Minimum Security Standards for Systems, provide notes about information specific to the university, and link to the Center for Internet Security documents for the relevant operating system.
E-mail the Information Security Office at security@utexas.edu if you have any questions or need more information.
