Security Incident Response Team
The increasing number of IT security incidents on campuses, around the nation, and the world has resulted in the development of a security organization on campus. A vital part of this organization is the K-State Security Incident Response Team (SIRT). The SIRT is charged with providing "services and support dedicated to preventing and responding to information/network security incidents".
The primary responsibilities of the SIRT are to
- Respond to incidents in a coordinated manner
- Define an IT security architecture
- Implement preventive measures
- Recommend policy and procedure necessary for the campus to be in compliance with good security practice
- Serve as a conduit of IT security information between central IT and the colleges, departments, and units represented by the SIRT
- SIRT representatives and alternates
