SSWIT values information and data security. The Boston University Computing Web Policies page has information on the following security subjects:
- Computing EthicsConditions of use and policy on Computing Ethics.
- Broadcast E-mailConditions of use and policy for sending broadcast e-mails.
- Student Web SitesDisclaimer information for all pages published by students.
- Information SecurityThe policy governing the use, protection, and preservation of computer-based information at the University.

In addition to these policies, SSW IT would like to focus on the following:
Passwords
Never give your kerberos password to anyone! Do not write it down or send it electronically. Each individual at BU has a unique login and it is crucial to information security that this information is not shared. SSWIT will help you establish safe/secure methods for collaborative work and data sharing. Please request help for assistance.
Remote Access
If you use SSW computing resources at home or at a computer not on the BU network, please make sure that you never save your login and password, and that unauthorized individuals do not have access to the computer while you are connected.
