Standards and Security

Information Security Program

The UNM Information Security and Privacy Office (ISPO) provides an Information Security Program that address confidentiality, integrity and availability of information on UNM systems and computers. The overall security program includes system monitoring, security incident investigations and a security education outreach program to the UNM computing community (details available here). As a member of the UNM computing community, it is your responsibility to help keep computing resources safe and available for use.

The ISPO is responsible for information protection, security awareness, and protecting UNM's computer equipment and network against unauthorized access. Contact the ISPO at security@unm.edu.
