University Computer Security Standards (UCSS)
The UCSS framework comprises a set of standards that are designed to help protect the universityÕs central and distributed telecommunications and computing environment from accidental or intentional damage and from alteration or data theft while preserving the university communityÕs appropriate access and use. One element of the UCSS, the Minimum Computer Security Standard (MCSS), applies to all computer and telecommunications devices that connect to the university data network or support infrastructure either directly or indirectly.
