Technology Security Responsibilities for College Employees

The College of New Jersey 's Internet and Information Technology Security Program has been established in recognition of The College's dependence upon computer-based services and the special problems involved in securing them.

Because of this dependence and the embedding of Internet and Information Technology systems into virtually every college function and process, Internet and Information Technology Security cannot be viewed as a minor technical matter falling under the exclusive purview of the information processing community.
