Software Security

Malicious programmers are constantly finding innovative ways to gain access to sensitive information through exploitation of weaknesses found in different systems. Security software can include protection features that attempt to nullify harmful attacks before they infect your computer or the network. These programs must be up-to-date to remain as effective as possible against exploitation.

The following links will help inform and educate users about the best practices and controls implemented by UT Health San Antonio to lessen the risk to institutional information, equipment and the software running on it.
