Portable & Remote Computing
- To provide adequate safeguards and
to prevent unauthorized access, all computers and portable computing
devices accessing UTSA data or other information resources must be
password protected. Passwords must use the "strong" password standards
and must be changed annually or immediately if the password is suspected
of having been compromised.
- Employees accessing the UTSA network from a remote computer must adhere
to all policies that apply to use from within UTSA facilities, including
the use of current virus scanning software. All data transferred between
the UTSA network and a remote computer must be encrypted. Use of SSL and
VPN software is strongly recommended.
- To
prevent theft, unattended laptop computers and other portable computing
devices must be kept physically secure at all times.
- To
protect UTSA data and technology resources, user accounts and access via
remote computers may be disabled if that computer poses a potential
threat due a virus, cyber attack or other means. Once the computer has
been restored to a safe condition, access will be reestablished.
- To
protect data against disaster or theft and to provide for recovery,
critical UTSA data stored on portable computing devices must be backed
up to a UTSA network server.
