3.14 Data Protection and Security

UAB relies heavily on its electronic data processing systems and computers to meet its operational, financial, and informational requirements. It is essential that these systems and machines be protected from misuse and unauthorized access. Therefore, deliberate, unauthorized attempts to access or use UAB's computers, computer facilities, networks, systems, programs, or data or unauthorized manipulation of the above is a violation of UAB policy. The Data Protection and Security Policy provides additional guidance.
