Such incidents may include the access to sensitive or confidential data, intellectual property, damage to public image and/or damage to critical internal systems.
When a security incident occurs, the Southern Miss Technology Audit and Security Team will alert the appropriate personnel to a potential or real threat.
The incident is examined for authenticity and severity.
Evidence is gathered to determine cause and vulnerability.
Systems are recovered, lessons learned are documented and maintenance can resume.
