Information Security Events

An information security event occurs when someone accesses information that they shouldn’t have.

This could be accidental – such as a sensitive file being emailed to the wrong person – or deliberate – such as a departmental file server being accessed by someone who has stolen the password.

Please report all security incidents to the Information Security Office. They can help repair the damage and prevent it from happening again.

The Information Security Office has a ‘no blame’ policy so you will never be penalised for reporting a security issue. All discussions are strictly confidential.

Do you have a question? Please see our Frequently Asked Questions about information security events.
