Information Security Services

A reminder for School of Medicine personnel that to transport or store sensitive data on a physical USB or external hard drive, university security policy requires you to use an encrypted drive. View information on Stanford University encryption requirements for your devices and to learn how you can get an approved USB flash drive.

SUSI (Stanford University System Inventory) has been made available to verify your server's compliance with the University Minimum Security Standards.

Operating systems and applications that can no longer receive security patches pose risk to your information, devices, and the network.  Be sure to keep yours up to date to ensure you can use them when you need them.

Understand the risks

University IT has established minimum security standards for cloud technologies.  Click here for details.

Devices used to manage critical scientific equipment or applications which can't be upgraded to current security requirements may be able to take advantage of the WinSecure Network (it's not just for Windows devices!). This network is used to compensate for the risks posed by devices using unsupported operating systems or which otherwise can't meet the current requirements.  Click here for details.
