Incident Response

Reporting security incidents is mandated by Policy 5.4.2, Reporting Electronic Security Incidents.

Incidents can be reported to the IT Security Office (ITSO) by sending e-mail to security@cornell.edu. This message will be triaged by personnel in the Network Operations Center (NOC), who will either forward it to the security group or, if merited, contact the on-call security engineer. If you urgently require assistance, please phone the NOC at 607-255-9900.

For additional steps to take, see the Procedures for Reporting Security Incidents page.

When a system that may contain sensitive data has been identified as compromised, start with the Immediate Containment steps in the Procedures for Investigating Data Loss page.
