Improve SOC Vulnerability Assessment Outcome
  • SOC Vulnerability Assessment in April 2020.
  • Qualsys report.
  • The April 2019 Vulnerability Assessment found 22 vulnerabilities. By April 2020, 75% of these vulnerabilities will be resolved.
  • Qualys report on applications and websites reports no scores of C or below.
  • Vulnerability Assessment report review with SOC.
  • Establish a Vulnerability Assessment team and project to work through and evaluate and resolve issues.
  • Underwent a second SOC vulnerability assessment in April. All vulnerabilities found in the previous assessment had been resolved. Vulnerability assessment is a moving target. The April 2020  testing uncovered about eight new vulnerabilities. 
  • In April we hired Valerie Smith, senior information security analyst. Valerie is running twice monthly vulnerability assessments and meets with a newly formed vulnerability assessment team monthly to review the results and create an action plan. 
  • Qualys reporting: The SOC was not consistent in its reporting from 2019 to 2020. We independently ran Qualys reports on all subdomains that scored C or below in April 2019 and took a sampling of a list of all Geneseo subdomains. All subdomains scored above a C. 
Increase the number of faculty and staff that are backing up their computer using a best practice.
  • MISO Survey
  • Application
  • Increase the number of primary devices using an approved backup solution
  • Evaluate the existing campus endpoint backup solution, Code42
  • Conduct a project to backup more devices using an approved backup solution.
  • The number of primary devices using Code42 has increased. 
  • The outcome of the evaluation of our backup solution changed our solution to securely back up the files and folders that users store in Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. 
Increase the percentage of faculty and staff that are informed or somewhat informed about "Available Technology Services"
  • MISO Survey
