Computing Security is Everyone’s Responsibility

As information technology resources are shared among the Wellesley College community, everyone has the responsibility to understand their role in computing security.

Why do we need to be concerned about computing security?

Privacy – Protecting your computer keeps your data secure, and helps to protect the privacy of our users

Protect College interests – A data breach can have many consequences for the College, including loss of systems and data, lost productivity, fines, lawsuits, and damage to its reputation

Legal obligations – Most states have breach notification laws that require certain protections for sensitive information; to understand how these laws impact your work, see Wellesley College’s Written Information Security Program
