The mission of the Syracuse University Computing Incident Response Team (SUCIRT) is to ensure the continued integrity of the Syracuse University Computer System, which includes computers, communications networks, computer accounts, Web pages, network access, central computing and telecommunications facilities, and related services. SUCIRT will prioritize levels of severity regarding network system compromises and/or vulnerabilities and notify affected departments and/or system administrators when such a breach is identified. SUCIRT will advise and coordinate efforts with those affected, identify specific tasks to be accomplished, and follow up.

• Report a security breach

One of the goals of the Syracuse University Office of Audit and Management Advisory Services (AMAS) is to help protect the confidentiality and integrity of Syracuse University's computer resources and data. Protecting these computing resources, however, is ultimately the responsibility of each user of the University's computer systems and data. While many controls and security features are built into the University's computer systems, they can be weakened if the users of the systems do not follow good computing control practices and guidelines.

AMAS has prepared a number of computing control and data security related documents for your reference.
