One of the goals of the Syracuse University Office of Audit and Management Advisory Services 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.

We have prepared a number of computing control and data security related documents for your reference. Some of the documents are oriented to technical users, such as a system administrators. We welcome your feedback about these documents.
