About Cybersecurity

Mission and Vision

The mission of the University of Notre Dame information security department is to advance the University’s mission by protecting its digital assets, activities, and reputation.

We aspire to advance a resilient, secure infrastructure and a culture of security awareness and action that empowers teaching, scholarship, and research at Notre Dame.

Approach

In order to achieve our mission and realize our vision, we use a risk-based approach to:

• Identify and prioritize security risks and mitigate them in collaboration with University departments and leadership
• Protect digital assets, activities, and reputation through consistent processes, policies, and communication
• Detect vulnerabilities and malicious activity through robust network and system monitoring and ensure regulatory compliance
• Respond to security breaches to contain the incident and improve protocols
• Recover from incidents by developing and implementing appropriate activities to restore operations and maintain plans for resilience
