PC and Information System Security Reinforcement Policy Enforcement

The University Computer Center (UCC) has constructed information security mechanisms and solutions to prevent information security accidents on campus. However, due to inattentive management of user certified passwords and mismanagement of personal computer security, unauthorized access and other information security accidents are on the rise.
Therefore, the Korean government has enforced non-use of equivalent passwords for lengthy periods and the use of official certification of authentication during administrative related information system access. In addition, to minimize paralyses of the whole network system caused by computer worms/viruses from students’ personal computers, it has been decided to make OS security updates and installation of vaccines compulsory on a whole campus level.
For details, please refer to the attached file below.
