Cyber security controls are essential and most effective when all members of our community share the responsibility to protect the University and themselves against cyber threats. We urge you to report any suspicious activity it potential cyber security threats by contacting us.

Responding quickly will prevent or difuse any cyber threats before they compromise our IT and data security.

UNSW follows best-practice cyber security standards and has established a clear policy framework. 

• The IT Security Policy - Information Security Management System (pdf, 147KB) outlines the responsibilities and principles required within UNSW to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of IT resources and digital information. 
• The IT Security Standard - IT Acceptable Use (pdf, 135KB) applies to all users of University IT services.

Members of the University community including staff, students, alumni or anyone who works or partners with us in any capacity (industry partners, affiliates, contractors, government, vendors, etc) are strongly urged to report any cyber security incidents as soon as possible. 

Incidents you should report include:

• Suspecting an IT service, device or account has been compromised.
• Evidence of vulnerable UNSW IT services.
• Unauthorised disclosure of sensitive information or discovering a lost UNSW asset.
• Observing a breach of University Policy.

Members of the public can contact the Cyber Security Team. Staff and students should email itservicecentre@unsw.edu.au
