Device Security
Device Security
Device Security is an improved toolset to help protect you, as well as university devices & data. Notre Dame uses multiple layers of security to help protect University-managed devices and the data they access. These protections are designed to run in the background, reduce risk, and support quick response if something goes wrong.
Device security measures include:
-
Protection against malware and other malicious software
-
Continuous monitoring for suspicious or unusual activity using Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR)
-
Regular operating system and application updates
-
Disk encryption to protect data if a device is lost or stolen
-
Secure configuration standards for University-managed devices
What you can expect
Most security tools run quietly with little impact on daily work. In some cases, you may see alerts, be prompted to restart your device, or temporarily lose access if a security issue needs to be addressed.
