Cybersecurity, Physical & Virtual Infrastructure

To meet University needs, the Office of OneIT must provide a secure and stable infrastructure. Cybersecurity is the practice of defending computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks, and data from malicious attacks. Physical infrastructure includes hardware, cabling, routers, switches, data closets, and data centers; virtual infrastructure includes the servers that run the virtual environments. Consumer demands related to performance and access continue to increase and evolve. People expect speed and the ability to access university systems anywhere, anytime with limited downtime.
