Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is a collective responsibility that applies to all components of AAMU business operations. Threat, vulnerability, and the likelihood of exploitation are complex and unique to specific business processes and technologies. Cybersecurity risk is measurable depending on quantified or classified aspects of the data; characteristics of the information system; the definitions and characteristics of internal or external threat, system, or environmental vulnerabilities; and the likelihood that the event or situation may manifest itself within a given application, information system or architecture. External threats evolve rapidly and are persistent based on the criminal intent or the resources of the attacker, whether they are criminal or nation-state backed. Internal threats can be accidental or intentional.
AAMU cyberSecurity Program
The AAMU Cybersecurity Program supports the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the AAMU campus by leading and managing campus efforts to reduce risk. Strategies include appropriate handling of data, continued diagnostics and good processes and procedures to manage our intellectual property and other sensitive information.
The office helps researchers comply with Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) requirements.
