campus-wide data inventory project.
The ITS Cybersecurity team has partnered with the principle data stewards and security administrators of the SIS and SAP systems, along with the UNO Cybersecurity Advisory Committee, to create a self-reporting data inventory system to identify storage devices where high risk personal information is located. This effort is an outgrowth of the recent Nebraska state law that details how personal data breaches must be disclosed.
Social Security Numbers, Drivers' license information, usernames/passwords, banking access information and biometric data are increasingly at risk for identity theft. Universities in particular have become attractive targets for data breaches. As stewards of Nebraska residents' personal information, we must be vigilant and pro-active in the protection of data that have been entrusted to our care.
Please visit the data inventory project homepage for more information and to self-report your electronic storage of high-risk personal data: http://datasecurity.unomaha.edu
