FSU is acutely aware of the need for computer security. The Computer Incident Response Team (CSIRT) and the Security and Ethics Subcommittee were established to plan for and respond to computer security incidents and vulnerabilities, publish security alerts, research the University’s computer security needs, and develop information and training to help faculty, staff and students enhance FSU’s teaching, learning and research mission.

Team representatives are from diverse technical and professional backgrounds, and include staff from the Office of Technology Integration, User Services Tech Support, Web Development, Networking, Systems, Office of the Inspector General, various University faculty and the FSU Police. These representatives meet and collaborate regularly, bringing a wealth of experiences and ideas to the security issues facing the University and the greater Tallahassee community.
