Number 551
Subject: Computer Management
Effective Date: February, 1 ,2008
The intention of this policy is to decrease the availability of Utah State University's computing resources to unauthorized outsiders. Computing resources and confidential data are sought by unauthorized outsiders for their own purposes, often at the expense of the university or the user of the computer. Proper management of computers reduces these risks of loss and the legal, financial and personal consequences that may result.
All computers connected to the USU Network must be configured and managed to reduce or eliminate the risk of loss of control of the computer resource or the stored or transmitted information. Information Technology (IT) is directed to develop Computer Management Procedures according to industry best practices in collaboration with IT advisory committees and user groups.
