Vernon College Cyber Security Policy
Security is a high priority in the Vernon College (VC) system. Any user who identifies a cyber security problem is required to report it immediately to the Cyber Security Officer. Students should never share cyber security problems to any person outside of Information Technology.
The IT department has the authority to examine all Vernon College owned computers at any time to check for inappropriate use. This includes unauthorized software or programs, inappropriate websites, inappropriate use of email, storage of inappropriate material, or any other use not authorized by Vernon College. In order to maintain network security, the College reserves the right to:
- Limit, restrict, or terminate an account holder’s usage;
- At any time to inspect, copy, remove, or otherwise alter any data, file, or system that threatens the security of that system or the network, with or without prior notice to the user;
- Periodically check the systems and take any other such actions necessary to protect the College’s computers, information, and networks.
