Report An Incident

An Information Security incident is something that has happened to compromise the information of students, faculty, and/or staff, as well as ESU business information. An incident could be:

  • Your ESU owned computer or laptop is missing

  • Your ESU account is being used when you are not using it

  • Someone else's UserID is showing on your logon screen

  • You notice unsafe information protection practices.

When security incidents happen, serious threats and consequences can occur. Members of the ESU community are responsible for reporting suspected or known security incidents, including any observed or suspected security weaknesses in ESU systems or services.
