Cybersecurity Standards
This page outlines the IT security policies and standards that govern the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC). These guidelines are informed by a multi-tiered framework of legal, regulatory, and policy requirements set forth at the federal, state, University System of Maryland (USM), and university levels. UMBC translates these requirements into practical IT security controls – the technical and procedural measures employed to secure access to our data, systems, and networks. The core mission of these controls is to prevent the loss, exposure, or operational compromise of sensitive information and critical IT resources. By adhering to these standards and policies, UMBC ensures compliance with applicable regulations and effectively manages the ever-evolving landscape of information security risks.
