What is a security incident?

A security incident is an event that jeopardizes the confidentiality, integrity or availability of information or information processing systems. Examples of security incidents include contamination with viruses and/or malware, attempts to gain unauthorized access to information or systems (hacking), the loss of a USB stick with confidential information, theft of data or hardware, compromised mailbox.

Discovering a security incident
If you suspect or discover a security incident, please report it to SOCC as swiftly as possible. The only condition is that it must in some way involve VU Amsterdam, either as the target or the source.
