The follow is a list of common guidelines for all systems and devices maintained by the University of Central Florida.
- All computing devices capable of running antimalware software must have an A/V software installed and kept up-to-date. We recommend the following antivirus software:
- Symantec
- McAfee
- Kaspersky Lab
- Microsoft Forefront Security
- Centrally managed antivirus software is strongly recommended
- Microsoft Endpoint Protection MS Windows
- Sophos A/V/Endpoint Protection for Macs
- If there is a strong business reason for having restricted data on a PC or mobile device, restricted data must be protected by disk encryption technologies. Storage of restricted data on a mobile computing device must be approved in writing by the employee’s dean, director, or vice president and based on a legitimate business need. We recommend the following encryption technologies:
- PGP Desktop(Windows, Mac)
- TrueCrypt(Windows, Linux)
- BitLocker(Windows)
- FileVault(Mac)
- Care must be taken to protect access keys and passwords in order to recover data and information
- Asset recovery software is strongly recommended for mobile devices that can run such technologies, e.g. laptops, especially for end-user devices containing restricted data. In the event of a theft, use of such technology enables authorities to locate and retrieve the asset. We recommend the following asset recovery technologies:
