Report a CyberSecurity Incident

Overview

The Report a Cybersecurity Incident service is a critical resource for the campus community to notify the IT Security team of any potential security threats or compromises. This includes:

  • Alerting the IT Security team to any instances where sensitive information may have been exposed or compromised via Phishing email or other means
  • Notifying the college of potential virus or malware infections on college-owned devices

Important: You can quickly report Phishing Emails right from Outlook - Visit the  Learn to Identify and Report a Phishing Email  article for more information.

By reporting these incidents promptly, the IT Security team can take immediate action to mitigate the impact, investigate the issue, and implement appropriate security measures to protect the college's systems and data.
