PROTECTING PENN
ISC’s Office of Information Security partners with Schools and Centers to implement tools and programs that protect Penn’s digital assets.
Institutional Risk ManagementCyberattacks continue to increase in number and sophistication. For this reason, information security was
recently selected by Penn’s Institutional Risk Management Committee as a critical area of focus. More than 140
stakeholders across campus participated in a multi-year project to enhance information security at Penn, resulting
in 18 new initiatives. Largely completed in 2017, that work is significantly improving Penn’s ability to identify and
protect against attacks, and to more rapidly detect, respond to, and recover from computer compromises.
Centers of ExcellenceSchools and Centers play a critical role in implementing information security at Penn. A new program, PennSec, has
been established to help manage information security consistently and comprehensively across campus. PennSec
provides a common framework and vocabulary, yet is designed to be flexible so Schools and Centers
can deliver security controls in a way that best suits their local needs.
