Cybersecurity Risk Assessment
UNLV is taking steps to strengthen its defenses against cyber attacks and breaches. As a result, the university’s Information Security Office (ISO) offers a cybersecurity risk assessment service (ISORA) to identify and mitigate IT-related risks for all campus technology services.
Protect sensitive UNLV data and technology resources
A cybersecurity risk assessment identifies and prioritizes threats, vulnerabilities, and security issues involving technology resources. It not only protects information stored electronically from damage or data loss but also prevents potential security problems. All UNLV faculty and staff are able to get a cybersecurity risk assessment for the technology services listed below.
