Secure UD Mission Statement

Mission

The mission of Secure UD is to educate and equip the University community to appropriately manage information risk. This effort is advanced through policies, an information security program, and supporting tools and guidance that empower the University community to manage risk and prevent the unintentional, unlawful, or unauthorized disclosure, alteration, or destruction of IT resources.
